Jussi Hiltunen explores the complicated emotions following a shooting incident in front of a small town disco in Northern Finland. Two witnesses are struggling to cope with the feelings of loss, sorrow and guilt. Hiltunen seems to gravitate toward portraying difficult human feelings as he dealt with the themes of guilt and forgiveness in his debut feature, Law of the Land (2017).

About the Director:
Jussi Hiltunen
Jussi Hiltunen (1984, Rovaniemi, Finland) once witnessed a rare street shooting in his hometown of Rovaniemi, which inspired him to shoot All Hallows’ Week. Besides this film, he has also made two other shorts, The Legacy and Winterheart, in his native town where he used a film camera for the first time at the age of twelve.
