A love story without love, a mystery in a world emptied of mystery, an epic tragicomedy of the mundane. This visually spellbinding, non-verbal fresco blends surreal imagery with the bleak ordinariness of the Finnish countryside, gradually evolving into a psychological drama of Kafkaesque proportions. Giant’s Kettle is the feature-length debut of Finnish artistic duo Markku Hakala and Mari Käki, a film that has captivated critics at major experimental festivals worldwide. www.giantskettlefilm.com
The art-film evening will be introduced in person by the artists Markku Hakala and Mari Käki, and hosted by Tereza Bonaventurová.

The subconscious imagery was created by Markku Hakala and Mari Käki through a deeply intuitive and intimate process of the unconscious. While open to interpretation, the work is frequently perceived as a commentary on the complexity of human relationships or the lack of spontaneity and meaning in the contemporary world. The title refers to a pothole in the bedrock, carved out by thousands of years of relentless pressure. What is the cultural pit we have created, how does it confine us from within, and how do we escape it?
