Between cinema and the visual arts, Jan Ijäs’s essayistic documentaries reveal the unexpected in everyday life. From the waste of consumer society to the ways we regard the pain of others, his films question the value of things and our relationship with the world. Laconic narration and subtle irony give viewers space to feel and form their own judgements. The programme is part of Espoo Ciné’s Cinéstesia exchange, supported by the Saastamoinen Foundation.
