Mika Kaurismäki

Mika Kaurismäki, Aki's elder brother, studied cinema at the Munich film school from 1977 to 1981, and his graduation film was his breakthrough. With his brother he founded the production company Villealfa, then the Midnight Sun Film Festival, and made a rock documentary with him; his first films shook up Finnish cinema. In it he returns constantly to Finnish identity and the changes in national culture, often with a critical eye on society, and he produces his films in his own company, Marianna Films.
