Darker Tones
Kallio Jade
The film takes the form of a road movie — a bleak, fear-tinged coming-of-age story during which the protagonists spiral downward as their internal moral compass disintegrates, ultimately leading them to a kind of self-acceptance: a hazy, entangled creation, like tightly compressed playdough.

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.
