About

Love is a Treasure will screen from a 2K digital restoration.

UFOs, killers in the corridor and wild wind storms all feature in Finnish artist Eiija-Liisa Ahtila’s five-part episodic film, Love is a Treasure. Part drama, part fantasy, the film brings together the stories of five women, each of whom perceive the world through a unique lens.

Using the cinematic qualities of film to convey a sense of the worlds that the women are living in, Ahtila’s visual opus evocatively explores the murky territory between reality and the imagination. The film’s lyrical beauty achieved through fanciful scenarios and vibrant colour pallet create a hallucinatory feel, reflecting the heightened sense of reality that the women are living in.
