‘Bubble,’ ‘Nasrin’s Voice,’ ‘The Great Silence’ Take Top Honors at Finnish Film Affair

industry event awarded the upcoming feature “Bubble” with top honors for its fiction in progress pitch on Thursday, capping a competition in which six projects presented a wide range of stories, settings and styles.

While the protagonist of the story, 16-year-old Eveliina, is, like most teens, liberal in her beliefs, “this liberal thinking doesn’t extend to her parents,” as producer Minna Haapkylä put it. Salmenperä defined his process in writing “Bubble” with co-writer Reeta Ruotsalainen as exploring its characters and dialogue on the guiding principle “that the story feels real.”

This project, a kind of real-life detective story, follows the quest of a Kurdish former child bride in Finland whose three daughters are being kept from her in Iraq by the man she was forced to marry at age 13. The documentary project award includes a 3000-euro package from Avek, Finland’s Promotion Center for Audiovisual Culture, to be used for international marketing.
