Anssi Kasitonni (born 1978) is a unique artist, musician, filmmaker and a man in love with his work and craft, as well as with life itself. He is a skateboarder and an award-winning artist from Sahalahti, Finland. He has worked in music, drawing and sculpture, but to many of his fans, the most beloved of his works are the short films he makes at his own farm. The films deal with age-old questions related to morality, love, death, generation gaps, sexuality and, of course, submarines. The ideas are epic, the films decidedly homespun. It’s a killer combination. Anssi’s films star all manner of creatures great and small: the artist himself, his wife Maria, one of Aki Kaurismäki’s favorite actors Markku Peltola and a pair of stuffed squirrels, one of whom has an eyepatch. Anssi’s movies are a world unto themselves that tells us something essential about ours. Kasitonni won the Ars Fennica 2011 prize, which is the biggest Finnish prize for visual art.
