Heta Jäälinoja’s short film Penelope won the Grand Prix in National competition (under 30 minutes) at Tampere Film Festival! Congratulations!

Jury’s comments: The mundane house chores before a long anticipated visit become an uber original and deeply poignant universe conveyed using only pencil lines, colors and textures. It is impossible not to fall for the film, enjoyed every stroke of the fleeting presence on screen.
