Marja Pyykkö’s fourth feature follows an unconventional fairy and an eccentric boy who overcome their own fears in order to save Mother Nature. Marja Pyykkö’s fourth feature, Sihja, the Rebel Fairy, is one of the titles taking part in this year’s edition of Buff in Malmö (21-27 March 2021), Sweden’s international film festival for children and youth.

A version of this story first appeared in the International Film edition of TheWrap’s Oscar magazine.
The central characters in Selma Vilhunen’s drama “Stupid Young Heart” are a pair of mismatched teenagers who have a drunken encounter and then find themselves facing parenthood. But the film, which is the Finnish submission in the Oscars’ Best International Feature Film category, veers into different territory when the boy turns to a hard-right, anti-immigrant group for acceptance.
Vilhunen say down with TheWrap to discuss her approach to the material.
How did you get involved with this story?
I am privileged to get to work with the screenwriter, Kirsikka Saari, who is also a co-owner in Tuffi Films with myself. She had been working with this screenplay for some years already. I got the first draft in the autumn of 2013, and I was very happy to be the one that she was...

It was fun to laugh back in January when Donald Trump spoke to the media about how he wanted fewer immigrants from “shithole” countries and more from the likes of Norway. We laughed because it was obvious what the difference between the two was for him, but there’s a growing trend towards radical right populism and nationalism over there too. Just as Nazis have come out of the woodwork in America under their rebranded moniker “alt-right,” nations such as Finland have been combatting their own fair share of racial unrest targeting Muslim immigrants. And while you wouldn’t think so at first, Selma Vilhunen’s latest film Stupid Young Heart depicts the resurgence.
Before this underlying trend infiltrates Kirsikka Saari’s script, however, the story arrives as a document of young love and responsibility between Lenni (Jere Ristseppä) and Kiira (Rosa Honkonen). The two prove an odd match in...

The 86th annual Academy Awards were really fun to watch. Ellen Degeneres did a fantastic job hosting, and I enjoyed the show she put on. It was also insanely predictable, at least, for me it was. Overall, I'm happy with all of the films that won. My favorite win of the the night was Spike Jonze taking home the Oscar for Best Original screenplay for Her. That was such an amazing movie, and I really wanted it to win that award, but I wasn't sure it would happen. My favorite speech of the night came from Best Actor winner Matthew McConaughey. I was never really a big fan of his, but over the last couple of years he has sure blown up into an amazing actor who has starred in some really incredible films. Then that speech he gave last night won me over, and now I'm on team McConaughey.

After a lengthy awards season that lasted three long months, the race for the Oscars came to a conclusion tonight at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
This year’s 86th Academy Awards saw a split between Best Picture and Director. 12 Years A Slave won three, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong’o.
Backstage, producer/actor Brad Pitt said, “ I love this movie.

Funny how fast an Oscar season goes by… only last year Argo was being given the Academy Award for Best Picture. The big night is almost here and nothing about this year’s Academy Awards is a sure bet. With so much time between the nominations in January, the various guild awards and the Olympics thrown in, the 6,028 AMPAS voters have had a long time to mull things, and their votes, over.
The winner’s acceptance speeches at the Golden Globes, the Screen Actor Guild Awards (SAG) and the British Academy Awards (BAFTA) have never been more important as they have during this past month and a half. Voting for the Oscars closed on Tuesday, February 25, at 5 p.m.
Even the avid pundits are in a muddle and would give their eye teeth to see the final tallies. Will hopefuls Leto,...

Welcome to Oscar Week!
From Tuesday through Saturday, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences invites movie geeks each night to get an up close look at the various categories and nominees.
Kicking off the week was the “Oscar Celebrates: Shorts” event on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Actor Kevin Pollack hosted the evening with screenings of all the 2013 Oscar-nominated films in the Animated and Live Action Short Film categories, plus onstage discussions with the filmmakers.
So what exactly qualifies a film into these categories? According to AMPAS rule 19, “a short film is defined as an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits.” It goes on to say, “An animated film is created by using a frame-by-frame technique, and usually falls into one of the two general fields of animation: character or abstract.

The insanity of daily modern life is presented with an exponentially comedic tone in the Finnish Academy Award-nominated Live Action Short Do I Have to Take Care of Everything? A mother wakes up in a panic certain that she and her family are late for a wedding ceremony. What ensues is a series of hilarious, but progressively terrible events that force her to try and solve all of them in the best way possible given such constrains. Director Selma Vilhunen talked to us about the real life inspiration for the short, her countrymen incredible support, and the unbelievable experience of being nominated for an Oscar.
Aguilar: How did the idea for the short come about?
Selma Vilhunen: The screenwriter, Kirsikka Saari, she had this idea or the theme in her mind for quite sometime, about people in a hurry, an a person having to do a lot of things in work and in family. But for sometime she didn’t know what the exact approach would be. She had this theme in her head and then one day she had a fight with her husband about house chores and whatnot, and she was kind of doing the same thing as the protagonist in the film. She was jumping around the house, and trying to do all kinds of things but not really being successful at any of them. Then she left the house, banged the door and went for a walk to cool her angry head. She sat down on a bench and then she started to laugh at herself. She saw herself from another person’s point of view, that’s when she knew what the approach for this theme would be. She realized that it is a comedy, and that she should laugh at this person.
Aguilar: Previously you have worked on various documentary shorts, which usually tend to be of a more serious nature, what attracted you to this short narrative comedy?
Selma Vilhunen: I could also relate to it [Laughs] I also have personal experience on this kind of situation in life. Kirsikka and I are co-owners of the same production company and we both have kids, so the question “Do I have to take care of everything?” is something I can really relate to. I also just really like the rhythm that is written in the story as well as the words, it was basically a funny story already on paper.
Aguilar: What do you think is the driving force or the reasoning behind mothers wanting to take care of everything, and do it right?
Selma Vilhunen: That’s a good question. It seems like often women are expected to be the ones who are responsible for the world going around, but on the other hand they kind of just take that role and don’t give any responsibility to the people around them. We wanted to take a small look at that, and maybe raise the question whether it is wise to try to take care of everything.
Aguilar: After the funeral sequence something chances in the family, do you think this has to do with the fact that in today’s world we tend to live so fast and we forget about the small things?
Selma Vilhunen: Maybe it is like that. Maybe the viewers can make the final interpretations themselves. Perhaps other people have different interpretations of what’s behind it all. But definitely I like the fact that is a funeral that makes them finally calm down and take a pause, but also of course, in the plot, after that they really don’t have anything to go to [Laughs] They tried their best and now there’s no where to go to. Maybe it is also the fact that life is short and you should seize the moment, the funeral kind of reminds them of that.
Aguilar: This film is only the second film ever from Finland to be nominated for an Academy Award, and the first short film. Is there any pressure on you from your compatriots?
Selma Vilhunen: I wouldn’t say that there is pressure to win the Oscar. We, and I would say also Finnish people, are very happy about this. This is a really wonderful opportunity, to be nominated, so we are enjoying this nomination already. Winning the Oscar would only be like a bonus on top of something that is already really wonderful. We have really felt the excitement of all Finnish people. It is really nice but it also a little bit surprising how much the entire nation is living this experience with us. Sometimes it can feel like this is a pressure, but we don’t want to think of it that way, we just want to enjoy it.
Aguilar: What are your future plans?Any projects in development?
Selma Vilhunen: In Tuffi Films, which is our production company, we have several projects going on at the same time. Kirsikka and I are working on a feature film, she is writing it and I’m going to direct it. We hope to have it in production next year. We also have a very busy spring. On February 28 th we have the premier of a film called Korso, which was written by Kirsikka and another writer Jenni Toivoniemi, and it is produced by Tuffi films and another production company. Then I will have my feature documentary, Laulu, in theaters in April, so it is a busy Spring.
Aguilar: How did the idea for the short come about?
Selma Vilhunen: The screenwriter, Kirsikka Saari, she had this idea or the theme in her mind for quite sometime, about people in a hurry, an a person having to do a lot of things in work and in family.

My favorite of the five films is the British “The Voorman Problem,” starring Martin Freeman and Tom Hollander in a hilarious and provocative bit of speculative fantasy… I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Death, religion, domestic abuse, war… and mornings: the five mini films nominated this year for the Oscar for Best Live Action Short manage to cram in much of the horror of human life. But it’s not all bad news: there’s a lot of humor, poignance, and hope to be found here, too. Start with the relentlessly solemn: “That Wasn’t Me” [IMDb], from Spanish writer-director Esteban Crespo, sees two Spanish aid workers in a brutal encounter with child soldiers in Africa, witnessing the brainwashing they suffer at the mercy of their adult leader and the toll it takes on one young...

After an intense season of outside-industry kudos delivery, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has proclaimed its favorites of a memorable award season. “12 Years a Slave” continues its momentum with nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay and more.
While films like “Philomena,” “Nebraska,” “Captain Phillips,” “The Wolf of Wall Street, “Her,” “Gravity,” “Dallas Buyers Club” having begun to pick up steam with at least three key Oscar nominations each, big-fish “American Hustle” has a hand in all four major acting categories along with Best Picture and Best Director among its other nominations for other technical awards.
And yes, “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” is now an Oscar-nominated film. Below is a full list of this year’s Academy Award nominees:

We woke up early with Hollywood this morning for the nominations for the granddaddy of the awards season -- the Oscars! Mister Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, along with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced the nominations, and there were not a whole lot of surprises.
But I'm very happy that the Academy honored "Dallas Buyers Club" with a nod for Best Picture along with Golden Globe winners, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, getting Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations respectively.
David O. Russell's "American Hustle" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" dominated the nominations with 10 nods each including Best Picture. The films will compete with "12 Years a Slave," "Captain Phillips," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena," "Dallas Buyers Club," and "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Now that we are knee-deep in awards season it is time to avoid to political back-slapping and enjoy the film year in retrospect. There’s little chance that the 86th Academy Awards nominations will throw up any grand surprises however the debate it will stir will all point to a positive outcome: that people who love film will champion them and argue about their inclusion (or not).
With the 2014 BAFTA nominations recently announced it’ll be interesting to see how far apart the two Academies are this year, but there are sure to be favourites in common. Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave is certain to gather up nominations, likewise Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity will grab onto directing and technical awards for sure, American Hustle is certain to have a nomination of two as well. What we’re looking forward to are the smaller films, unable to throw stocked coffers at For Your Consideration campaigns,...
