Watch the film and come discuss it with us!
The SNFCC Members’ Film Club resumes its meetings in 2023, together with Cinobo, with three films that are sure to spark stimulating discussions! In January, inspired by the theme of the month, Dot, we will be discussing the film The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic (2021) by Finn director Teemu Nikki.
Summary:
Jaakko is blind and paralyzed, dependent on his wheelchair. He is in love with Sirpa. The two have never met in person, but communicate online every day. When Sirpa is upset by some shocking news, Jaakko immediately decides to go to find her.
An unprecedented cinematic achievement that gives action movies a new meaning. An adventure filmed from the viewpoint of a blind man, whose tenacity is capable of changing the fate of his Titanic, overcoming icebergs and leading him to redemption, alongside his loved one.
