The film tells of the Choreographer, who is attracted to and obsessed with Vaslav Nijinsky, the legendary Russian choreographer and dancer (1890–1950).
While reading the Diary of Nijinsky, the Choreographer is rehearsing with his Dance Company his edition of Nijinsky’s famous work, “The Faune”. Nijinsky wrote his Diary by hand during the 6 weeks he spent locked up in the study of his house in Switzerland. The Diary ends when Nijinsky was forcibly taken to the Insane Asylum, where he remained for over 20 years.
Through Nijinsky’s Diary, the Choreographer is experiencing that sensation where all of the revelations he is reading about are brought to life in his mind. Now he is learning about the deep- est inner thoughts and feelings that Nijinsky has.
The Choreographer has always been infatuated with Nijinsky, first through his admiration of Nijinsky’s choreography’s and dance, and then through his realisation of the extraordinary simi- larities between Nijinsky and Himself.

Woodsmen is a film about the collision between man and nature. It is a tale about two woodsmen who encounter a wolf-like creature in a beautiful forest. The woodsmen are doing their everyday job, felling trees and piling up logs, but is there something more in the forest?
It looks like the woodsmen do not notice the existence of the wolf-like creature. Still it is there and interferes with events. Or does it?
The film plays with the clone-like similarity of the woodsmen; they are almost faceless. It also comments on how Finnish men communicate.
I wanted to make this film because a pine forest in spring is a quintessential childhood expe- rience for me. I remember how the sound of a tractor shatters the silence of the forest. How heavy wood is. The feeling of power when a huge tree falls. Sitting at a camp-fire, panning over the for- est in farewell. How alive and mysterious the forest is. The conflict between man and nature is irreconcilable. Still, even though nature loses at the end of the film, humour comes out on top.
The actors in the film are from the same remote district; they share the same experience of nature. Dancer Reijo Kela as the wolf-like character brings an animalistic nature experience to the film.
