Flame

Director Sami van Ingen / / Finland

From the ashes, a new story arises. 

Silja – Fallen Asleep When Young was a 1937 Finnish film lost to the ages in a fire that destroyed all its remaining prints and negatives. Until, a few years ago, a few frames were found. Using this badly decayed and damaged nitrate, Sami van Ingen builds a breathtaking new melodrama full of passion and intensity.
