I admire Strindberg’s inner cosmos in what must be one of the earliest post-modern pieces of drama. I used the classic’s strong feministic voice and adapted the play to take place in present day Helsinki. I wanted to challenge the limit of how far I could take the story to feel completely contemporary without loosing the beautiful structure of themes in the original.

The screenplay won the competition for a dance film production 2016. Often dance in films jump out as a separate section but I wanted to challenge the old narrative- choreography dichotomy and was inspired by the contemporary dance icons like Pina Bausch. The film has since its release in end of March 2017 been invited to both narrative orientated and dance orientated film festivals and won several first prizes. I was also invited as an object of research to the International Meeting on Video- dance at Universidad Polytechnic de Valencia.

Set on the Swedish west coast in the 1760s, RAN tells the story of Anna, a young Finnish woman accused of infanticide. The narrative unfolds through court records, shifting testimonies, and subtle mythological echoes. RAN is a story about survival, justice, superstition, and the silence surrounding women’s experiences in history.
