Lava
Kallio Jade
Lava is a love letter to things that cannot be written about: love, exciting piles of twigs, longing, a disappearing landscape, memories you can’t trust. Either writing hurts, or it is impossible to find the words. Lava is a continuation of the working group’s previous work Magma (2020). Both works deal with human relationships and ecology. The wishes for transformation, non-monogamy and boundless love, which were still partially smouldering under the surface, erupt in Lava, a video dealing with the end of a relationship.

Jade Kallio
Born: 1978
Jade Kallio is a Helsinki-based filmmaker and artist whose practice reflects on gender, corporeality, and the spaces and social structures in which meanings are produced, with a focus on trans identities and marginalized experiences. Kallio explores how social norms shape possibilities for existence and visibility. Current projects blend documentary, speculative fiction, and magical realism while considering production structures, working conditions, and questions of narrative authority. Kallio has exhibited work at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, CCA Northern Ireland, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the European Media Art Festival (EMAF Award 2019), among others.
