Night Visions Diary # 5: Over and Out

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Halloween is now over and so is Night Visions Maximum Halloween 3009. Hands down this was the best and most successful Night Visions in the history of the festival. This once again proves that people want to see all kinds of movies and they are willing to make the effort to go see them, even in the middle of the night.

The Zombies had a great time at the festival and here’s a little recap of what went on. The opening night was probably the most memorable for us, because we organized a Dead Snow Zombie Walk, with the help of Zombiewalk Helsinki, to take place before the screening of our favorite Nazi-zombie movie ever, Dead Snow. Although not too many zombies showed up, the ones that did were an awesome group of people. The screenwriter and actor, Stig Frode Henriksen, presented Dead Snow and also judged the zombie costume competition which Timo won! The opening night continued with the 25th anniversary of the amazing Finnish classic Yön Saalistajat. Matti “Reuna” Mäntylä was also present at the screening.

Read the full article about the screening of Dead Snow and Yön Saalistajat here.

On friday I went to see The Crispin Glover Experience! This was definitely the high point of the festival for me. Too bad if you missed it, because these kind of rare opportunities don’t come too often. But I do advice everyone to go see Glover’s show, if he ever comes to your town. I guarantee it will be a night to remember. We were also lucky to have lunch with mr. Glover the day before.

Read about our lunch with Crispin Glover here and the full article about The Cripsin Glover Experience here.

Night Visions had an amazing selection of films this year. The ones I was really looking forward of seeing were Richard Kelly’s new movie The Box and John Hillcoat’s depressing post-apocalyptic film The Road. I really enjoyed both of the films and I highly recommend them to everyone. Luckily both films can be seen in Finnish theaters later this year.

Read my review of The Box here.

We had a blast at the festival and we will be eagerly anticipating next Night Visions and a another set of great movies.

We would once more like to thank Liisa Lehmusto, Mikko Aromaa and Kalle Kinnunen, and all the crew behind Night Visions. We are looking forward to continue our collaboration with upcoming festivals. Also a special thanks to our zombie expert Janne Tourunen for helping us with the Zombie Walk.

Until next time, Zombie’s are over and out.

Night Visions Diary # 4: Sex, Slides and Dreamscapes

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

I have to admit that I was struggling with my words on this one, because how do you describe something that you had to see to believe? Yesterday I experienced something extraordinary at Night Visions Film Festival, The Crispin Glover Experience! It was indeed an experience, one that I won’t ever forget.

When I walked into the fully packed theatre, a weird circus music fills my head. It perfectly sets the mood to the show that’s about to begin. The Crispin Glover Experience! In the beginning we are instructed to turn of all technical equipment and no recording of any kind was permitted during the entire show. The lights go out and it gets totally dark and quiet. Suddenly a bright red spotlight hits Crispin Glover’s face. He welcomes us to the show and starts his performance. As soon as the first slide hits the screen, he is immediately in his element, reading passages from his books with a passionate drive. He goes trough about six books, that are just as absurd and surreal as the way he is presenting them. I loved this part of the show, especially parts from his books Concrete Inspection and Rat Catching.

When the hour-long slideshow ends, it’s time for the movie, part two of Glover’s IT-trilogy, It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. The movie is written by Glover’s friend, a CP-handicapped Steven C. Stewart who also plays the lead in the movie. It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE tells a story of Paul, a wheelchair-bound man who craves women with long hair. In his fantasies people are able to understand him verbally, women find him irresistible, and his is a legitimate threat to anyone who stands in his way.

I had seen the trailer before hand and I’m of course familiar with Glovers previous work, but I could not have imagined what was to be projected to the silver screen last night. I can say that some parts of the movie are not easy to watch to say the least, but that’s exactly why you should watch them. One of the most fascinating elements about the movie is the fact that Stewart wrote the movie specifically for himself. It made me think if he wrote the script just to be able to experience the things he probably wouldn’t have been able to to do any other way. Also I thought it was very interesting that you couldn’t understand a word that the protagonist was saying. Only way to know what he was saying, was to listen and watch how other people reacted to him, who did understand him perfectly. I’m still quite blown away about this and I don’t think I have ever witnessed anything quite like it. So the movie is definitely not short on originality.

Here’s the trailer for It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE so you get even some sense of what I’m talking about. But rest assured this movie needs to be seen in a theatre and with the director present. Trust me.

Right after the end credits had rolled mr. Glover came back on stage and asked the audience “So, is there any questions?” with a little grin on his face. He knew there were questions, he knew he had evoked thoughts. And ultimately that has always been his main goal with all his work. Glover talked very openly about his fears for traditional distributing, about financing the movie with money he’d made from Charlie’s Angels, and of course his relationship with the late Steven C. Stewart and how they came about to do the film together. The Q & A session lasted for about an hour, but I could have easily listened to it for much longer.

I encourage everyone to go see this show if you ever get a change. It was an experience like no other and it will definitely give you something to think about.

Also I would personally like to thank everyone at Night Visions for organizing The Crispin Glover Experience! This is one night I will remember for the rest of my life. And also a huge thanks to an idol of mine, mr. Crispin Glover, who not only gave me the movie experience of a life time, but also took the time to have lunch with and Timo the other day.

Night Visions Diary # 3: Picking Crispin Glover’s Brain Over Lunch

Friday, October 30th, 2009

crispin_glover_01_small

Yesterday we met with American film maker and actor Crispin Glover over lunch at a vegan restaurant Silvoplee. We ended up having a very interesting conversation about the future of collaborative film making, Internet distribution and of course Moon Nazis. The lunch was set to start at one, but after we passed the 45 minute mark and were still waiting in the restaurant, we started to get a bit worried. Was this going to be…

table_silvoplee

… The Invisible Crispin Glover Experience! :)

Well no. True that mr. Glover was a bit late (because his last interview ran longer than expected), but I was more than happy to wait and at two o’clock he arrived. To those of you who don’t know, Crispin Glover is “touring” with his one man show “The Crispin Glover Experience” and he will be performing tonight 7:00 pm at Maxim movie theatre in Helsinki. The show contains a screening of his film It Is Fine. Everything Is Fine!, a slide show, a Q & A session and a book signing.

You can read my full article about The Crispin Glover Experience here.

After a more or less formal start to our conversation, we begun talking about the future of collaborative film making and Internet distribution. Since Glover doesn’t sell his movies for commercial distribution, the only way to see his work is by attending his shows. Glover has some issues with the corporations in charge of distribution, and who can blame him. The moment you give your movie away to a traditional distributor, you are more or less bound to do as they say. You also loose all freedom of doing things your way and of course money-wise the distributor takes a big cut of the gross. Back in the day there were no other option to the traditional distribution model, but nowadays the Internet provides a market bigger that any other. Also when done right, it doesn’t cost a cent.

We told mr. Glover a little about ourselves and it seemed that after hearing the story of how Star Wreck was made by collaborating with the community and how it was distributed for free on the Internet, he became more open to the idea of Internet distribution. What we also discovered is that Glover has been looking for a new way of distributing his films, but felt strongly about still keeping the distribution to himself. He seemed very interested in all new possibilities of how to use the Internet and we were more than happy to give some advise.

After lunch I did some digging around in the net and found that Glover has been using the Internet quite well. He has his own website, but also a Facebook and Twitter account to promote his tour. This is more than I can say for most film makers. My only suggestion to mr. Glover would be to take it one step further. It would be great if there was also a tour blog and/or twitpics on Twitter. For example the director of Juno, Jason Reitman, (@JasonReitman) does this very well.

I’m going to see the show tonight and will be posting about it tomorrow. So stay tuned.

Night Visions Diary #2: We are the Dead of Night Visions

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

zombies
(Photo by Marko Saari | mrksaari on Flickr | Check out the full Dead Snow Zombiewalk Set)

It’s 8 p.m., and we are standing in front of the Helsinki Railway Station, dressed up in black leather and dripping blood, freezing our asses off. The very first snowflakes of the winter are dropping slowly from the pitch black sky. It’s the beginning of a Dead Snow zombiewalk, we set up to celebrate the first and second-to-last-ever Dead Snow screening in Helsinki. Shit it’s cold.

To be honest, nobody came. Well, not “nobody”, there was five of us, but compared to 100+ -zombiewalks they’ve had in Helsinki before, it’s close to nothing. But who the hell cares, at least the five of us are here, plus a small audience.

(Photo by Marko Saari | mrksaari on Flickr | Check out the full Dead Snow Zombiewalk Set)

So we turn into zombies and creep our way through the city to the film theater where the screening is at. The house is packed – sold out, to be exact. And Stig Frode Henriksen, one of the screenwriters and main actors of the film is on stage, opening up the show. He invites all the zombies to stage, and the audience gets to vote the best zombie.

That’s me. Nazis win.

But then again, there’s just five of us, so we all get cool prices – DVDs, posters and whatnot.

But I get the main price – a very unique and special bottle of beer called Herzog. Branded and bottled for Dead Snow, and as far as I know, the only existing bottle of it. If you know otherwise, don’t tell me, or you crush my world.

dead_snow_herzog_beer

The screening is an absolute success. I mean, what more could you ask – a fully packed theater, great film, people laughing, clapping, cheering and enjoying the film, and they even have a possibility to shake hands with one of the creators. Really, it’s an experience. And that’s what we’re looking when we go to film theaters, nowadays. We want to experience the film.

Francis Ford Coppola was just recently talking about something like this: that film theater experiences becomes more of an event in the future, in order for them to compete against piracy, home theaters and retarded distribution – not to mention other millions of things that are stealing people’s attention nowadays.

“I think the cinema is going to live off into something more related to a live performance in which the filmmaker is there, like the conductor of an opera used to be,” Coppola says. “Cinema can be interactive, every night it can be a little different.”

The article is quite interesting, have a read.

The evening ended with 25-year Anniversary Screening of Yön saalistajat, a legendary Finnish filmmaker Visa Mäkinen finnploitation feature. Gotta say, either I’m not born with the exploitation gene in me, or I just haven’t seen too much of good stuff from the genre, but I just didn’t get the film. There was one thing, though, that I got really excited about – the bad guy, Reuna (Matti Mäntylä). His performance was quite strange in Heath Ledger’s Joker-ish way, and I wouldn’t mind if the character was to re-emerge in some form on Finnish screens in the future.

A remake of Yön saalistajat? Aleksi Mäkelä, you reading this?

There’s going to be another screening of Dead Snow during the Night Visions -festival, so if you missed the first one, but are around in Helsinki – don’t miss this. Honestly, I haven’t seen a theaterful of Finnish filmgoers go so crazy over a film in ages. It’s really worth it, like a 12-pack of ice cold beer in a very good company. With Nazis. You can buy the tickets from here.

Can’t go wrong.

Ps. Special thanks to both the people of Night Visions and Helsinki Zombiewalk for helping us pulling this zombie walk stunt together! Too bad not too many zombies showed up, but at least we were one damn devoted bunch! Thanks, and be seeing you guys in the future Helsinki Zombiewalks!

Night Visions Diary # 1: When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Hello everyone! Night Visions Maximum Halloween 3009 starts today and it’s time for our first official diary entry from the festival! Let’s have a look at what movies to see and what events to attend during the rest of the week. The Zombies will be attending the festival every day (28.10-1.11) and we will be reporting from the scene in a form of a daily blog. So let’s get started.

Dod_Sno_09_medium

The opening night of the festival is very cool. First up is the screening of our favorite Nazi-zombie movie, Dead Snow. Some of you might also know that we have been busy organizing a Dead Snow Zombie Walk to take place just before the screening in which the zombies will drag themselves across town to see the movie. Also as a special treat, Dead Snow screenwriter/actor Stig Frode Henriksen will be attending the screening and he will also be the judge of the zombie costume competition. Keep in mind that there is also another screening of the movie on saturday 31st and Henriksen will attend that one too (but there will be no zombies).

There are still a few tickets left, buy them here.

And here is the trailer.

Right after Dead Snow we will be hurrying to another movie, the Finnsploitation gangster flick, Yön Saalistajat. Actor Matti Mäntylä, who plays “Reuna” in the movie, will be attending the screening. After the movie the Zombies will be going to the anniversary/opening party at Maxim.

Get your tickets to the classic Yön Saalistajat here.

If you are not convinced yet, just check out the trailer.

Definitely one of the coolest events at Night Visions is THE CRISPIN GLOVER EXPERIENCE! The eccentric American actor and filmmaker has been an idol of mine for a long time and I can’t wait to see his “one man live-performance”. The Crispin Glover Experience contains a screening of his film It Is Fine. Everything Is Fine! (2007), Glover’s Big Slide Show, Q & A and a book signing.

You can only buy tickets to this event from Finnkino theaters (not from the website for some reason), so go get yours. This is one show you don’t wanna miss!

Also join us after the show for the official Night Visions after party at Piano 23:00 (Rauhankatu 15). You never know who will show up ;)

It_is_fine_1_medium

I would also like to mention two very interesting films that you can see at the festival. Richard “Donnie Darko” Kelly’s The Box and John Hillcoat’s post-apocalyptic tale The Road. I have been dying to see The Road for a while now and at one point it was unclear if they would ever get the movie finished. But they did and on Saturday I can see if it will live up to my (very high) expectation. Both of these movies are being distributed in Finland theatrically, so if you miss them on saturday, you can still see them later. This rule doesn’t apply to most off the movies, so Night Visions could be your only change.

TheBox_Movie_poster

A complete list of movies, schedules and more info can be found from the official site.

Allright, stay tuned because tomorrow we will be posting photos from the Zombie Walk and the anniversary screening of Yön Saalistajat.

Countdown To Night Visions: Yön Saalistajat -Star Matti Mäntylä Joins Crispin Glover And Stig Frode Henriksen

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Night Visions Film Festival is less than a week away and we have good news for all you Yön Saalistajat fans. On the opening night Wednesday 28th of October actor Matti Mäntylä will be coming to the 25th anniversary screening of Yön Saalistajat. Other confirmed guests at the festival are Crispin Glover And Stig Frode Henriksen. Matti Mäntylä will visit Helsinki 28.-29.10.2009.

yon_saalistajat_vhs

In Yön Saalistajat Mäntylä plays a ganster called “Reuna”, who is one of the most legendary tough guy characters in Finnish cinema history. Matti Mäntylä (born 1945) is a professional actor, and he has performed in several Finnish theaters (e.g. in Pori, Jyväskylä, Kotka, Helsinki, Finland), films and TV series. Mäntylä graduated as an actor from the University of Tampere. Mäntylä has also appeared in Visa Mäkinen’s films such as Agentti 000 ja kuoleman kurvit (1983) and Pirtua, pirtua (1992). More recently, he has appeared in many Timo Koivusalo’s movies such as Kaksipäisen kotkan varjossa (2005) and Sibelius (2003), and he has also appeared twice in the role of Toivo Kärki in Kulkuri ja joutsen (1999) and in Rentun ruusu (2001).

In Yön Saalistajat a small gang of criminals is planning to commit a gold heist not knowing that the new member of their gang is actually a police detective. But when his true identity is revealed to the gang they act like they wouldn’t know about it and decide to use the detective to accomplish their plans about the heist.

Screening 28.10 22.45 Maxim 1 (buy tickets by pressing this link)

Here’s the incredibly awesome trailer again.

The 25th anniversary screening is 28th of October in Maxim 1. I’m going and will be posting photos of the event later.

Countdown To Night Visions: CRISPIN GLOVER EXPERIENCE! 30.10.2009!

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Crispin_Glover

One of the coolest events at Night Visions this Halloween has to be THE CRISPIN GLOVER EXPERIENCE! Remember George McFly from Back to the Future? How about the the freaky Train Fireman from Dead Man? Yes, that’s Crispin Glover. The eccentric American actor and filmmaker has been an idol of mine for a long time and I can’t wait to see his “one man live-performance”. The Crispin Glover Experience contains a screening of his film It Is Fine. Everything Is Fine! (2007), Glover’s Big Slide Show, Q & A and a book signing.

Show and screening 30.10.2009 19.00 Maxim 1

Here is the trailer for It Is Fine. Everything Is Fine! I think it is an understatement to say that the trailer speaks for itself. Wow!

It Is Fine. Everything Is Fine! is based on Glover’s friend, a CP-handicapped Steven C. Stewart’s manuscript. It’s about Stewart’s alter ego, permanently wheelchair-bound Paul, who craves women with long hair. It is “partly autobiographical, psycho-sexual, imaginative report on Stewart’s outlook on life”. The screening in Night Visions is a unique opportunity to see the film, because Glover doesn’t sell his work for commercial distribution, and doesn’t make DVDs. Glover even transports the print personally to each screening himself.

Glover finances his films with money made from playing roles in big films like Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

Here are some of my favorite Crispin Glover moments. What are yours?

“My career has been a mixture of having to make money and doing things I feel OK about. If I could just get a lobotomy, I’d be a lot better off.” – Crispin Hellion Glover

Dead Snow Zombie Walk in Helsinki 28.10.!

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Countdown To Night Visions: MAXIMUM HALLOWEEN 3009 28.10.-1.11.2009

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Dod_Sno_06_medium

Hey to all you night owls and movie geeks! We are starting a countdown to Night Visions Film Festival here in Zombie Room. Night Visions focuses on horror, fantasy, science fiction and cult movies and is the biggest genre film festival in Finland. Night Visions Maximum Halloween 3009 is held here in Helsinki 28.10.-1.11.2009 and this year the festival has expanded to five days, which means more awesome movies and of course less sleep. I can personally guarantee a great line-up of genre films and a couple of incredible international filmmaker guests joining the festival.

Established in 1997, the festival has been organized in Helsinki usually twice a year, the first Night Visions event of the year taking place in the spring around February/March and the second one around Halloween in late October. The festival’s main venue is the historically and architecturally significant cinema Maxim in the very heart of Helsinki. Active non-stop since 1909, Maxim is the oldest cinema still operating in Finland.

And with that note let’s start with the most important thing, the movies. I went trough the whole selection and here’s a few tip’s on what to see at the festival. You can buy tickets by pressing the screening time link.

JENNIFER'S BODY
JENNIFER’S BODY
Jennifer’s Body is a dark comedy and horror film written by Diablo Cody. She is the writer behind Juno and United States of Tara, which is a TV series I’m super hooked on right now. Jennifer’s Body tells a story of Needy (Amanda Seyfried) and her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox), the smoking hot cheerleader who turns into a blood thirsty killer. I’m expecting lots of blood and guts, spiced up with some snazzy dialogue à la Cody.

Screening 28.10.2009 19.00 MAXIM 2

Check out the Red Band trailer here.

Read my blog entry here.

Dod_Sno_02_medium
DEAD SNOW
For me Dead Snow is definitely the most exiting movie of the whole festival and it’s about time we got this film to Finland. I was lucky enough to see the movie already, but that won’t stop me from going to see it again. In Dead Snow a ski vacation turns horrific for a group of medical students, as they find themselves confronted by an unimaginable menace: Nazi zombies!!!

We also have a few treats in store for all you Dead Snow fans, but more of that later :)

Screening 28.10.2009 21.00 MAXIM 2
Screening 31.10.2009 01.30 MAXIM 1

Check out the trailer here.

Read Timo’s blog entry about the Nazi Massacre Championships 2009 here

THE_BOX_3_medium
THE BOX
I have been waiting for this movie like crazy. It’s Richard Kelly’s chance to redeem himself from the last movie mess he made (Southland Tales) and get back on track that he started with his first feature film, the amazing Donnie Darko.

A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who open it and become instantly wealthy. Little do they realize that opening the box also kills someone they do not know…

Screening 31.10.2009 21.00 MAXIM 1

Check out the trailer here.

The Road
THE ROAD
The Road is directed by John Hillcoat and it is based on a book by Cormac McCarthy (writer of the novel No Country for Old Men). Hillcoat is most known from his work with Nick Cave, for example Ghosts… of the Civil Dead and The Proposition. Now he has taken on a post-apocalyptic tale of a man and his son trying to survive by any means possible.

Screening 31.10.2009 23.15 MAXIM 1

Check out the trailer here.

- – - – -

AND A VERY SPECIAL TREAT…

yon_saalistajat_vhs

YÖN SAALISTAJAT
And last but not least, we have the amazing Finnish exploitation movie (or Finnsploitation) from the 80′s Yön Saalistajat, directed by Visa Mäkinen. The movie is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary and Night Visions is organizing a gala screening for it. Do I really need to say more..?

Screening 28.10.2009 22.45 MAXIM 1

Just look at this awesome trailer! It is in Finnish, but I think you get the picture…

- – - – -

Keep in mind that most (if not all) of these movies screened at Night Visions might never get distributed theatrically here in Finland, so this just might be your only chance to see them! So I advice you to buy your tickets now, before they are all sold out! Also all films in Night Visions Maximum Halloween lineup are eligible for the festival’s Audience Award. You can cast your vote after each screening. I think it goes without saying that my vote will go to Dead Snow, because there just can’t be anything more awesome than that!!!

During the festival The Zombies will be posting a daily festival diary, photos and we even have a couple of cool surprises in store, so stay tuned!

For the complete list of movies, events, schedules and ticket information visit the official site www.nightvisions.info

See you at the festival!

Ein! Zwei! Die!
