What do a grieving man trying to sell his meager possessions, a pair of moonshiners with a pig who are tricked by a card shark, and a lighthouse keeper who ventures into space to find her brother have in common?

Answer: playfulness, sharp wit, the distinctive visage of non-actor Jaana Paananen, and last but not least, Juho Kuosmanen’s love for silent cinema. Leading Finnish director Kuosmanen’s feature film, consisting of three silent shorts – Scrap-Mattila and the Beautiful Woman (2012), The Moonshiners (2017), and A Planet Far Away (2023) – is a tribute to the early days of cinema and, above all, a warm and hope-filled celebration of people from the margins of society.

The trilogy replaces Kuosmanen’s Compartment No. 6 in the Lapinlahti Film Festival program.
