Cinéma Laika

In a small village in Finland, which has relied solely on metallurgical activities for the past two centuries, Aki Kaurismäki and his friend, the poet and writer Mika Lätti, are constructing their own cinema theatre within an old foundry. Employing recycled wood, metal, and pre-owned furniture, the residents of Karkkila collaboratively craft Kino Laika. A cinema nurtured by the past. The venue is surrounded by motorcycles, rock bars, and the inspiring beauty of nature, encapsulating the very essence of cinema’s enchantment—a place where the magic resides in its profound capacity to instigate change.
