Jonna Kina’s Assemblies Anonymous (featured image) and Matti Harju‘s Yaris, Crow have been selected for the Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, held from November 23–29, 2026 in Paris, France.

Kina’s Assemblies Anonymous will be part of the screening Shelter, resist at Le Saint Germain des Près on November 28th, 2026.

Assemblies Anonymous (2026) takes shape as a mystical collection of ephemeral architectures found in the peripheral woods of nordic suburbs. Existing between sculpture, shelter and ruin, these organic, collective assemblies remain in a state of constant transformation. Shot on 16 mm film and accompanied by an electroacoustic soundscape composed on a Buchla analogue synthesiser, the work unfolds as a ritualistic journey through a landscape in which these living sculptures emerge, evoking a mythic time where youth, freedom and collective imagination intertwine.

Sound, perception and imagination are essential ingredients in the research and practice of Jonna Kina (b. 1984). Her work reveals the value of fictional viewpoints in non-fictional investigations. Kina’s works have been shown in the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum; Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, Rome; Dunkers Kulturhus, Helsingborg; Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne; International Film Festival Rotterdam; Hasselblad Foundation, Gothenburg; Espoo Modern Art Museum EMMA; Kumu Art Museum, Tallinn and in Sara Hildén Art Museum, Tampere, among others. Kina has recently been awarded the Finnish Art Prize “Below Zero” (2018) and her film Arr. for a Scene was awarded as the “Best Nordic Short Film” at Nordisk Panorama Film Festival in Malmö (2017). She was also shortlisted for the VISIO Young Talent Acquisition Prize in Florence (2017).

Matti Harju‘s Yaris Crow will be part of the screening The War of the Worlds at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature on November 24th, 2026.

Yaris, Crow (2026) is a slow loss of grip on reality: the search for «objectivity» at the fringes of a society consumed by technology.

Matti Harju’s works have been screened at the Rotterdam, Locarno, Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Torino, BFI London, Edinburgh, AFI FEST Los Angeles and Clermont-Ferrand film festivals, among others. He studied film directing at the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in the UK and holds an MFA from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts.
