We’re spotlighting Finnish cinema in recognition of the Scandi Film Festival which is happening across the country this month.
Lisa Kovacevic interviews two Finnish directors; Mikko Myllylahti, about his new film THE WOODCUTTER STORY which is playing at the festival and Juho Kuosmanen about his film COMPARTMENT NO. 6 which is on wide national release in independent cinemas.

Lisa then chats to Australian filmmaker Adrian Francis about his documentary PAPER CITY about the 1945 Tokyo firebombings which destroyed a quarter of the city and killed 100,000 people. Today, in a society rapidly forgetting, three elderly survivors fight to leave behind a public record of their experiences before they pass away.
