Ville Suhonen

An acclaimed director from the frosty landscapes of Finland, Ville Suhonen was born in 1964 in the city of Tampere. Suhonen, active in the film industry since the early 1990s, has largely worked within the documentary genre, with notable works including "Butterfly from Ural" and "Tale of a Forest", the latter of which won him a Jussi Award for Best Documentary. His authorial style is characterized by his ability to capture the delicate balance between man and nature, often using the wilderness of his home country as an evocative backdrop for his narratives. As a person, Suhonen is truly a man of the forest, his passion for nature is not only palpable in his enthralling documentaries, but it also shapes his life beyond the camera.
