Movies by Hanna Bergholm

Hanna Bergholm is a visionary Finnish filmmaker whose distinct, imaginative voice has made her a rising star in world cinema. With a bold, unconventional style and a penchant for blending genres, Bergholm crafts films that are both unsettling and spellbinding. At the heart of Bergholm's work is a fascination with the darker corners of the human experience - the fears, desires, and compulsions that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life. Her films often veer into the realm of the surreal and the supernatural, utilizing nightmarish imagery and unsettling metaphors to explore themes of identity, family, and the power of the subconscious. Bergholm first garnered attention with her early short films like "Reflexions" and "Reetta and Ronja Go Treasure Hunting," which showcased her talent for crafting atmospheric, visually striking narratives. She continued to hone her skills with acclaimed features like the darkly comedic "Gorilla" and the supernatural thriller "Varjot." But it was her 2022 breakout "Hatching" - a chilling coming-of-age tale that blends body horror with family drama - that truly cemented Bergholm's reputation as a bold, singular filmmaking voice. With her latest project, the sci-fi tinged "Nightborn," set for release in 2026, the cinematic world eagerly awaits Bergholm's next bold, boundary-pushing vision.
