Anssi Kasitonni’s film Pena’s Special Hauling (2024) will be screened at Murf/Murw festival, held from September 27–29, 2024 in Tilburg, Netherlands.

Pena’s Special Hauling (2024) features Pena, who has been driving a semi-truck for 50 years and that’s the way he wants it to be in the future as well. He has some slight memory issues but it is not going to stop him.

Anssi Kasitonni 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. His movies create their own world that tells us something essential about ours. Kasitonni won the esteemed Ars Fennica Award in 2011.
