The Image of You weaves together the themes of love and memory in the spirit of New Wave cinema. It’s a story of a couple, Lilja and Laura, who have recently broken up. To find peace of mind, Lilja wants to discuss the past relationship with Laura.

Was their love true even though it ended?
Pinja Valja
Pinja Valja (1984) is a Helsinki-based media artist working mainly with short films and video. The structures of social and cognitive individual reality are a frequent theme in her work. For example, she questions the common and institutionalized, monogamous approach to love and relationships in her most recent films, The Image of You (2017) and A Poly Love Story (2017). Valja´s works often combine different genres with a queer edge. Valja has graduated as a Master (2016) and as a Bachelor (2011) of Arts from Aalto University and as a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tampere Polytechnic (2008). Her works have been shown in exhibitions as well as film festivals in Finland and abroad.
