Lipeälapset

Firestone Children. FI 1949. PC: Suomen Filmiteollisuus. D: Matti Kassila. DP: Sulo Tammilehto. 11'. A vintage 35mm nitrate print with beautiful definition. Viewed at Orion, Helsinki, 25 May 2005. Kassila's first short. A powerful medical and public service film with live action scenes, actual medical footage, and animation. A really memorable warning about the danger of firestone especially for children. Also a fine example of nitrate's silver glow.
