21 WAYS TO RUIN AMARRIAGE 21 TAPAA PILATA AVIOLIITTO

There are 21 ways to ruin a marriage and that’s enough to convince Sanna that falling in love is folly. As her extensive studies show ‘Divorce is a natural and probable consequence of falling in love.’ Love and sex are two different things, and she prefers the latter, in an intoxicated state if possible. Marriage is a business agreement. And to prove her point she is conducting an extensive study interviewing couples from their marriage to their inevitable divorce. When Aleksi comes into her life, she finds herself smitten and her world is about to be turned upside down.

The Finnish Film FoundationThe Finnish Film Foundation supports and promotes the Finnish film industry. The Film Foundation provides support for professional film production and the exhibition and distribution of films. The Foundation is also responsible for the cultural export of Finnish film and provides support for the international promotion of films.

The Finnish Film Foundation was founded in 1969 as an independent foundation operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Culture. In granting support, the Foundation is guided by the State Aid Act, the Film Promotion Act and Decree as well as the European Commission notification on state funding for film.

Our aim is to increase the visibility of Finnish films and aid their international distribution. Major international film festivals offer Finnish films an important channel to foreign markets. We aim to find the appropriate international venue for each film in order to reach its

target audience. Festival distribution is complemented by Finnish film weeks organized around the world in partnership with Finnish embassies and cultural institutes.

The Finnish Film Foundation participates in film markets at the Berlin, Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals together with other Nordic film institutes under the ‘Scandinavian Films’ banner. To promote short and documentary films, The Nordic film institutes and the Finnish Film Foundation cooperate at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France, International Documentary Film Festival (IDFA) in Amsterdam, and at the Nordisk Panorama event.

Aamu Film Company Ltd was founded in 2001, and we have produced both fiction and documentary films in various lengths. We have both won prizes and made mistakes – but fortunately learned from both of them. Over the years, we have noticed that the art of cinema is serious fun. If we do not like something, we do not do it. But when we do, we give it all. That is what we are good at. We aim to build long relationships with directors and screenwriters who have a unique approach to filmmaking. We usually start from short films and proceed to international feature films in order to make their style, content and ensemble to reach their peak. We both know that content always shapes the form. We know that every film making process has to be custom-made for the content in question.
