A dystopic Lapland is closed off with iron gates, and its factories are pumped with labourers from the south by the trainload. Through kafkaesque coincidences an assembly line drone embarks on a psychedelic voyage in a forsaken desert.

Dr. Professor's Thesis of Evil
Suomi, 2011
26 min
The world has all its eyes on Dr. Professor, supervillain, and he has everything: loads of fans, constant media adornment – and a mutant koala bear with ray guns for eyes. But as a slave of capitalism, breaking havoc just isn't what used it to be. What's a villain to do?

Play God
Suomi, 2011

In 2003 director Teemu Nikki was filming ”the hardest sci-fi action splatter ever”. Play God had Finnish mainstream actors Antti Reini and Heli Sutela cast, and the script peaked with Santa Claus being sawed in two. The production never finished. This 40-minute documentary, though, is a hilarious plunge into the depths of an outrageous dream of a film.
