Petri salo

Art and creativity is what gives me sanity. Intuitive searching the realms of the unknown is diving into a deeper understanding of what we call life. It gives wonderful insights as one goes with conscious decisions in daily life. Art and cinema history, mystical and occult knowledge is dear to my heart. Art for me, is a never ending adventure that each time reveals more and more treasures.
I am eager to manifest something that I haven ́t seen before, but what I would wish to see.

WHAT CINEMA MEANS FOR ME
I see cinema as pure magic. The moment when the general lights are dimming down in the theatre and the first picture appears on the screen, taking us on a deep dive into another world for a certain length of time. It is the most fascinating form of art that I know of.
What we see and hear is one thing, then what it all is cooked up to be as an aftermath, is yet another thing.

Cinema is merging all the 7 arts together and in doing so, makes us wander within the realm of imagination and discovery.
As a filmmaker, I see myself as a facilitator of a creative flow. It ́s working with ideas, the subconscious, the collective unconscious and the unknown. Fetching stories and tales from the deep waters of undiscovered fascinating realm of wonders.
It is an ever-evolving process that is as incomprehensible in it ́s core as is real life itself.
