Pirjo Irene Honkasalo (born 22 February 1947) is a Finnish film director who has also worked as a cinematographer, film editor, producer, screenwriter and actress.[1] In 1980 she co-directed Flame Top with Pekka Lehto, with whom she worked earlier and later as well. The film was chosen for the 1981 Cannes Film Festival.[2] In the 1990s she focused on feature documentaries such as "The Trilogy of the Sacred and the Satanic" (Mysterion, Tanjuska and the 7 Devils and Atman). Honkasalo returned to fiction with Fire-Eater (1998) and Concrete Night (2013), both of which were written by Pirkko Saisio.[3] Concrete Night won six Jussi Awards in 2014, among them the Jussi for the Best Direction and the Jussi for the Best Film.[4] Its world premiere was at the Toronto International Film Festival in Masters series.[5]

Pirjo Honkasalo worked as provincial artist laureate in Central Finland 1974–1975.[6] At that time she drove around the area with one-armed scholar who made research of traditional handcrafts. Honkasalo photographed all the interviewees voluntarily. On that journey she met the main characters of her documentary Their Age.[7] She is the first honorary member of Women in Film & Television Finland. The organisation says that "Honkasalo has [...] made touching films of universal topics" and also spoken out about the gender inequality in film industry.[8]

Pirjo Honkasalo and her partner Pirkko Saisio live in Kruununhaka,[9] Helsinki, but they also have apartments in Tavastia, Turku and Madeira.[3] Both of them enjoy travelling and they together have written a travel book Exit (1987).[10] They've raised Saisio's daughter, actress Elsa Saisio, and are one of the best-known lesbian couples in Finland.[3]

Early life and education

Pirjo Honkasalo was born in Helsinki, but the family moved to Pori when she was one year old.[7] Honkasalo studied film in School of Art and Design, Helsinki.[9] She started there at the age of 17[11] and was only 21 years old when she graduated in 1969.[12] The school had great connections to FAMU and Honkasalo was very active and interested in the international projects.[7] In 1971–1972 Honkasalo studied and worked as an assistant in Temple University, Philadelphia.[7][12] Studies included visual anthropology.[7]

Work

Honkasalo has worked with some other well-known Finnish filmmakers such as Rauni Mollberg and Jörn Donner, who have also helped her in her career.[7] She was the first woman in Finland who did the cinematography for a feature film (Pilvilinna, 1970).[13]

Her most recent film Concrete Night is shot in black and white. She claims that in black and white it's possible to make the environment and story more simple and clear. Honkasalo's films are known for their lack of talk. "Picture can reach the unspoken part of a human. The part indescribable with language". Honkasalo thinks that this silence makes the filming itself almost sacred.[9]

Honkasalo doesn't want to separate fiction and documentary films, she rather thinks that both have elements from each category. She got used to working with the camera on her shoulder from the beginning, so she can move quickly and won't miss any good authentic moments. Often she does the directing and shooting at the same time, "cinematography is part of directing", as she says. It also means that she doesn't have to shoot as much; "In Tanjuska and the 7 Devils, I had 2,2 times the material compared to the final cut".[7] Doing this helps the editing process which she also often does herself.[14] Honkasalo insists on making the final cut of her films, which is why for an example the BBC won't buy her work.[9]

Selected filmography

Awards

Many of Honkasalo's films have been nominated in several international film festivals.[15] She has received four life-work awards: BAT Prize at Sodankylä 1993, Suomi-Finland Award 1998, Laterna Magica for director 1999[16] and Aho & Soldan award at the DocPoint Helsinki Documentary Film Festival 2004.[17] Flame Top was nominated in Cannes Film Festival's main competition 1981 and won four Jussi Awards in the same year, among them an award for the best direction.[18] Their previous co-direction Two Forces won the Jussi for the Best Team in 1980.[1]
