Make It Short AVEK (the Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture), in collaboration with The Finnish Film Foundation and Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) Co-productions, announced the Make It Short project in October, 2004 to raise the profile of the short medium and particularly to encourage filmmakers to make and offer short films in all their forms. The underlying reason for the project was a clear decline in short films being produced and the desire to celebrate the centenary of Finnish short films and also the ten years of the New Cinema programme on YLE’s Channel One. The proposed projects had to meet the following requirements: a duration of less than 15 minutes, budget of no more than 50 000 Euros and a professional filmmaker. In order to ensure as many participants as possible, a production company or a producer was not required at the proposal stage, only after if the proposal was chosen. Thus screenwriters without directors could enter too. The project was received enthusiastically, and there were 211 proposals. Ten were chosen to represent different filmmakers, views and genres. The films will be shown together for the first time at the Nordisk Panorama in Århus in 2006.
The proposals selected are: Neuvonen Laura: Möbleeraaja An animated film about a relationship and the challenge of decorating. Vilhunen Selma: Jätkä ja hevonen A documentary film about the life and work of Asko and Myrsky. Juutilainen Tommi: Ankkuri An animated film about men in the sea who experience a transcendent connection with themselves and each other.
