Anssi Kasitonni’s Deus Ex Machina will be screened at Regensburg Short Film Week, held from March 18-27 2022. The film will is included in the screening “Trash’n Fun”, running on Friday, March 18, at 21:00, and on Sunday, March 20, at 21:00.

In Deus ex Machina, the illusion breaks down when the viewer can see the strings.

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.
