Riefenstahl Screening is Really Popular
The phone rings off the hook; people ask for tickets. At Tullikamari, Liisa Rinne and Clare Gardiner sell tickets for the Film Festival. The reporter and photographer from Aamulehti arrive with their heavy photographing equipment. They want to be first. Meekly, I stand aside with my little digital camera and try to be like the real reporters.
Clare Gardiner studies audiovisual production at the Outokumpu Oppimiskeskus. She was born in Finland and her father is British. This is the first time she works for the Film Festival but she has followed the programme for five years in a row.
This is the fifth Film Festival for Clare Gardiner

This year, Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will has been the most attracting film at the Film Festival. The first screening sold out last week, but the repeat screening on Sunday night has still place.
There aren't many places left for films screened at the Studio in Tampere Hall. As a whole, it is a bit difficult to estimate the ticket situation because tickets have been sold with great demand in Helsinki as well.
On this second day of the Festival, the audience's interest point has clearly shifted. The audience has wanted tickets for Robert Frank; Buñuel always intrigues the viewers, no matter the form. Young adults have been buying tickets for Kössi the Kangaroo and The Nostalgic Animations of Pikku Kakkonen. Ticket buyers have also been interested in screenings for films by the Canadian David Cronenberg and the Dutch Paul Verhoeven. There are two screenings for both, so the outlook for getting a ticket is good.
