Not Withholding Anything from You
En salaa sinulta mitäänDetails
How do artists view their own work? Veikko Aaltonen’s documentary Not Withholding Anything From You takes us straight into the heart of creativity in the company of artists from different fields and generations.
From singer-turned-filmmaker Anna Eriksson to cinematographer Esa Vuorinen, from painter-sculptor Jarmo Mäkilä to actor Hannu-Pekka Björkman, these artists allow the audience to follow their work as they reveal what intuition, inspiration, and love and hate mean for their art. Celebrating the various forms of passion and creative work, the film presents a compelling case for the significance of art.
