Väylä
Directed by
The majestic calm of the sea set side by side with man's often invasive intervention. In Väylä, Rintala's final year film, she rides the oil tanker Mastera on its route across the Baltic Sea: on board is the busy crew, surrounding them are the waves and silence, as the ship heads towards a refinery where its precious yet dangerous cargo will be unloaded. The relationship between man and the sea told in a slowly advancing narrative, with poetic, visually intense images representing the ambivalence between admiration – the spectacular evocative camera shots – and recognition of the exploitation and pollution that the ship symbolizes.
