Media That Matters Film Fest: Tyttonen (The Young Girl)

Director Fabian Giessler was inspired to make "Tyttonen (The Young Girl)" by her grandmother who became ill with Alzheimer’s disease and occasionally mixed up dreams with reality. It portrays the ways in which people handle illness as they grow older. Giessler created the short film in a foreign semester in Finland in a real Finnish retirement home. Media That Matters brings you inspiring films by youth and independent filmmakers committed to changing the world in 8 minutes or less.
