Finland / 2006 / 13 mins / DVD / Finnish with English Subtitles

Void is a short film which tells a story of a western man, who is a religious fundamentalist. His life is floating between fantasy and reality. The film raises questions about how a western (Finnish) man becomes a fundamentalist and what he could do? I believe that the reasons behind being fanatic are different according to the culture behind them. The film discusses visually the conflict people have with the modern sense of void and emptiness. In this piece, the conflict ends in the destruction of the void.
