Marta Balaga Finland’s leading film festival Love & Anarchy is ready to celebrate its 35th edition, free of COVID restrictions and finally able to focus on the films and the audience, says executive director Anna Möttölä in Helsinki. But it has been a bittersweet time, marked by the loss of Jean-Luc Godard and Lina Wertmüller back in December, whose 1973 film gave the event its name. While Wertmüller will be celebrated with a screening of “Seven Beauties,” another tragedy is on the team’s mind: the sudden death of Charlbi Dean, the star of Ruben Östlund’s Palme d’Or winner – and the festival’s opening film – “Triangle of Sadness.”
“It will be a memorial screening,” says artistic director Pekka Lanerva. Dean’s co-star, Zlatko Burić, is expected to attend.

To have such a promising career, not to mention young life, cut so short… We want to pay tribute to her and the work she did in this film,” adds Möttölä. The festival will also address another weighty subject: Russian invasion of Ukraine. While the event hasn’t officially banned Russian films, they won’t be showing any this year. “We condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine,” states Möttölä. “We want to focus on Ukrainian films. Give them our full attention, as they can be sidelined in the debate about banning Russian titles. They should be the focus of the discussion.” In April, the festival held a country-wide fundraising event, with 15 cinemas and organizers in 14 towns taking up their invitation to show Maryna Er Gorbach’s “Klondike.” The initiative raised €11,000, which was then donated to the Finnish Red Cross and UNICEF.
