Archipelago Science Fiction
Kalleinen Tellervo, Kochta-Kalleinen Oliver
Archipelago Science Fiction is a unique short film about the community of the Turku archipelago located in the Baltic Sea. The habitants of the villages star in four hilarious and sometimes chilling future scenarios scripted by themselves based on their hopes and fears. The visions seem dauntingly realistic and universal despite their surrealist atmosphere.
