Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Light plays with buildings and space. It plays with people. Mystic, rippling, influential light forms from reflections. It’s like reverberation in music. Light waves indeed act like sound waves. Juha Leiviskä is one of the most successful contemporary Finnish architects. Light Snatcher investigates the intricate play of natural light in his architecture.

A carnivalesque portrayal of the Finnish landscape of the soul and abode. The short film is based on the iconic YLE programme “People’s Radio”, and its visual material has been created by the road movie method of driving across summery Finland. The film paints a panorama of what Finland looks like today. Its narration progresses through humour into civic anarchy, ultimately also towards the longing for human connection.
