In my short young life, I have been blessed with the friendship of a few Finlandians in my life, though my contact with Topi ended shortly after his conscription started (PS. I'm total supporter of conscription in the US, though it would never happen, I think it would be a positive discipline builder for all American youth, comrade). Fins are pleasantly odd, from their affinity to dreadlock hair, to their even greater love for saunas. Thomas Hilland is a Partizan film director who has done loads of advertorial work for companies like Adidas, Nike, Toyota, and even music videos for Röyksopp. He recently completed a documentorial short film called Sweat, which follows the story of Timo, a professional sauna champion. One would think that there is little competition to sitting in a sauna, however at 140 degrees centigrade, it appears that only the Fins can master such scorching temperatures. The trailer is absolutely wonderful to watch, and not just to see a bunch of blonde-locked sweaty lobster-skinned men boil in a tiny little room.  Run over to It's Nice That to read a short interview with Hilland about the film, and check out the trailer for Sweat over at Partizan.
