The Contract

A stranger comes to an abandoned circus where a couple still lives. Photographing connects the trio, but things starts to go queer.

A lumberman gets in trouble when he is going to chop a Christmas tree.

The Defiler is a fuck-yeah-tale of passion, mayhem, love and revenge, ode to 80’s action, italian ripp offs and b-sleaze set in the cinematic splatter-punk universe.

Director Otso Tiainen’s fascinating study of an esoteric community hidden within the French Pyrenees begins by exploring the seekers drawn to this place, supposedly the home of the Holy Grail. However, it is the appearance of charismatic film director Richard Stanley that truly ignites the story. Before long, accusations about his conduct surface, and the residents find themselves caught in a battle for their very souls. The dangers of blind faith and the magnetic pull of certain personalities are put under the microscope in this breathtaking examination of a small microcosm of society forced to confront who they are when everything they believe is challenged. A vital film that urges us to scrutinize our heroes, SHADOWLAND is a must-see—not only to contextualize the inner battles we all face but also to finally see the truth laid bare.

The soundtrack features material from the next studio album of Nightsatan, due out in 2014.

Carlotta Moore and I is a colorful documentary about an American movie star who moves to Finland to act in the films of a remarkable Finnish director. What is real and what is fantasy?

Just like behind the camera, the soundtrack of the documentary is also full of questionable people from Turku, the music is provided by Nightsatan, Black Totem and, of course, Carlotta Moore herself, who has been rehabilitated as a rapper.
