If you wish us to promote your event, please email relevant details to us at info@finnsworldwide.com MARCH 2010 25.2-29.4 Exhibition by Eija-Liisa Ahtila Parasol unit is delighted to present a major solo exhibition by the 
renowned Finnish film and video artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila. It will 
include three important video installations never before seen in 
England. Ahtila is best known for works that concentrates on narratives in human life together with the relationships and primal emotions that underlie them. She describes her films as ‘human dramas’ because they play on the central themes of our existence, such as love, death, sexuality, the difficulty of communication, and individual identity – both its formation and disintegration. Her fictional stories emerge from interviews and extensive research, her own observation and memory. As Ahtila’s films are often shown on multiple screens or within complex installations, her stories unfold simultaneously within time and space, thereby creating a multi-layered experience that engages the viewer both physically and emotionally. Her masterfully crafted narratives, striking portrayal of characters and highly individual mode of expression have captured public interest and won much critical acclaim.

The exhibition will consist of three video installations Where is 
Where?, The Hour of Prayer and Fishermen, together with a series of 
relevant still photographs.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Parasol unit will hold a one-off 
screening of Ahtila’s film Where is Where? This UK premiere will be held at the Prince Charles Cinema, Leicester Square, on Wednesday 14th April 2010 at 7pm. It will be followed by a discussion between Eija-Liisa Ahtila and a leading film critic and academic.

It has traditionally been a very laid-back event that gathers together Finnish people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds. The aim is to have fun, catch up with old friends and make some new ones. You can meet people from students to au pairs, from people who are working in London to those who are only visiting the city. The turnout has usually been between a couple of dozen and about a hundred. All Finns and also other nationalities who are interested in the Finnish culture are most welcome. Bringing friends is ok, too – it is even recommended! Since November 2009, Finnish pub evening is held at The Pipeline which is located in the London East End. If you are missing Finland, The Pipeline might be just what you need. Check out the jukebox for Sielun Veljet, the menu for Nordic delicacies and the bar for some Finnish drinks such as lonkero.
