Matalapaine (The Lightning Rod)
poster and movie graphics.
2025

Matalapaine is a short film by director and writer Helmi Donner. It premiered at Festival de Cannes as a part of the La Cinef competition.
The film is set at the protagonist grandmothers house, so the central inspiration for the graphics were the finnish public radio televition channeles YLE1 and YLE2, and their retro programming, a typical background noise to any finnish mummola.
