Janne
Kallio Jade
In the film, the women talk about men – what else would they talk about? – especially one: Janne. Oh, Janne… I love my man, even though I wish I didn’t. There’s another man in the film too, a hot one, swept away by his hunger for the road. The women’s relationship to men is ambiguous, yet hopeful.

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.
