MEKU (Finnish Centre for Media Education and Audiovisual Media): New classification exercises (2012)

Janus Metz: Armadillo (DK 2010). Originally part of a six episode TV series called "Vores krig" by Kasper Torsting. Loc: Helmand, Afghanistan.

The Finnish Board of Film Classification was abolished in December 2011, and a new office, Finnish Centre for Media Education and Audiovisual Media, was established in January 2012. Now everybody gets to do their film classification themselves, and more than a hundred people have been trained so far. During my years at the Finnish Film Archive / National Audiovisual Archive of Finland this is the fourth film classification legislation, and I participated also in the new classification training with 16 movies and 5 trailers:

Antichrist (Lars von Trier, DK 2009) - Andersen wrote a tale called Emperor's New Clothes - thanks to this exercise I got to see this movie (with Charlotte Gainsbourg cutting her clitoris off in extreme close-up)
Reindeerspotting (FI 2010) - heavy use of drugs
