PRIX EUROPA - Best European TV Documentary of the Year 2013
\n<\/strong>
\nTHE PUNK SYNDROME - A FILM ABOUT PERTTI KURIKAN NIMIP\u00c4IV\u00c4T \/ Kovasikajuttu Directed by Jukka k\u00e4rkk\u00e4inen, J-P Passi<\/p>\n

entered by Yle, Finland, produced by Mouka Filmi, co-produced by Indie Film, Auto Images, Film I Sk\u00e5ne<\/p>\n

This film is about Finland\u2019s most kick-ass punk rock band, Pertti kurikan Nimip\u00e4iv\u00e4t. The band members, Pertti, kari, Toni and Sami, are mentally
\nhandicapped and they play their music with a lot of attitude and pride. We follow these professional musicians on their journey from obscurity
\nto popularity. We watch them fight, fall in love and experience strong emotions. We witness long days in the recording studio and on tour.
\nThey laugh, cry, drink and fight over who gets to sit in the front on the tour bus. Then it is time to make up and go talk to people in the audience
\nand tell them how great their band is. Their songs are about the problems in society as well as about things that
\nthey face in their everyday life: how going to the pedicurist sucks and the misery of living in a group home. The guys give a piece of their minds
\nto both politicians and people whose attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities need improvement.
\nThis film is about the essence of punk. It is a story of handicapped people rebelling against the mainstream. This time you are allowed to stare and
\nwonder why they act the way they do. And you will fall in love with them as you watch how the most kick-ass punk band in Finland conquers the
\nworld.<\/p>\n

DISPLACED PERSSONS \/ Familjen Persson I fr\u00e4mmande land, Directed by \u00e5sa Blanck and Johan Palmgren<\/p>\n

Per Persson left Sweden 40 years ago in search of adventures. He drove eastward in his Land Rover and ended up in Pakistan where he
\nfell in love with Shamim. They married, settled down in Lahore and had two daughters, Zahra and Maria. Per raised his daughters to be free and
\nstrong women which wasn\u2019t very popular with neighbours and relatives. As Zahra and Maria grew older the family felt more and more threatened
\nby the surrounding society. At last, when the girls are in their mid-twenties, the family takes the difficult decision to move to southern Sweden, back to Per\u2019s roots. Shamim, Zahra and Maria have great hope for their lives in the new country but once in Sweden nothing turns out as expected. The family have to live in a small caravan while being stuck in the Swedish bureaucracy, with endless meetings and paperwork. Money is scarce and their dreams slowly fades away.
\nAfter a while Zahra falls in love with Aun, a fellow Pakistani also trying to find a new life in Sweden. When Aun\u2019s Swedish visa expires he moves
\nback to Pakistan and from there he proposes to Zahra, which she accepts. After a tearful goodbye Zahra leaves for Pakistan but promises she will be
\nback in Sweden, in a year or so. In the meantime Per, Shamim and Maria slowly begin to build a decent life in Sweden and especially Maria likes
\nher new country more and more. And finally, after years of longing, the family is reunited when Zahra and
\nAun comes back to Sweden.With them they bring their son Lille-Pelle, Per\u2019s first grandson. The whole family celebrate and rejoice, but will they live happily ever after?
\nWell, as Per says: \u2018Right now things are pretty good, but how the future will be? Inshallah!\u2019<\/p>\n
