Directed by award-winning filmmaker Karin Pennanen, shot by cinematographer Jussi Rastas, this film is far more than a “making-of”; it is an artistic inquiry into how we address trauma through art and how the silenced reclaim their voice. By inviting audiences to witness the vulnerable, unguarded process of creating art from nothing, the film poses the profound question: can art save us? Pennanen, a pan-Nordic filmmaker with a background in theater and scenography, brings a distinctively visual, cinematic language to this contemplative exploration of why the ancient Philomela myth remains so vital to artists 2,500 years later. This project captures the fascinating, raw reality of forging a major new work in turbulent times.
