This year marks the 150th anniversary of one of the first Finnish novels, Seven Brothers by Aleksis Kivi. To celebrate, The Finnish Institute asked actor Heidi Niemi to make an English language short film version of the story, playing all the characters. Niemi is as UK-based Finnish actor, whose previous works include a one woman version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, MacBETTI, which she performed eg. at Brighton Fringe Festival.
