People are increasingly afraid that their home environment is becoming unrecognizable and undesirable. Populist demagogues have risen to harness these fears and to raise people against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of all this turmoil are two men, Oula (46) and Tapio (71). Although they disagree on almost everything, they have decided to continue their weekly discussions in a public sauna in Helsinki. They continue because they respect each other, and because they understand that when conversation ends, violence begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoiling Point\u201d is an award-winning documentary film by director and writer Elina Hirvonen. The film paints a shocking image of contemporary Europe, but also looks for a common ground between strongly opinionated groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Director\u2019s Foreword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn 2016 I realized that a big change had taken place in Finland. There\u2019s xenophobia and a lot of people who feel that they haven\u2019t gotten what politicians have promised and that they\u2019re on the margins of society with no one listening to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose the main characters of the film so that viewers could like every one of them, even those who think differently from them. When Oula and Tapsa sit naked in the sauna despite their different views, I think they\u2019re doing Finns a big favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finland is divided, and I think we need to cleanse the atmosphere of hate. I hope my film will be a good preface to that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elina Hirvonen<\/strong>, writer, journalist, film director<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scriptwriter and Director<\/strong><br>Elina Hirvonen<br><strong>Cinematography<\/strong><br>Jarkko M.

During the campaign, the film was available for free public and private screenings around Finland, and the organizers of the screenings were advised to host discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the campaign in May 2017, a total of 738 screenings had been organized, and approximately 18.000 people had taken part in the events. Vast majority of the participants experienced the discussion events positively: 92% experienced the atmosphere of the events safe and inviting, and 85% felt they could talk about their own experiences, feelings and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the campaign was considered as a big success by the organizers, participants and collaborators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1112,"menu_order":10,"template":"","elokuva_kategoria":[16],"class_list":["post-178","elokuvat","type-elokuvat","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","elokuva_kategoria-finished"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
