EXCLUSIVE: Activist Artists Management has signed Hanna Västinsalo, the Finnish writer-director whose debut feature, Palimpsest, won an HFPA Special Prize at last year’s Venice Film Festival.
The emerging filmmaker will now be represented at the company by Bernie Cahill and Jon Kanak. Västinsalo was awarded a prestigious Biennale College Cinema grant to make Palimpsest, a sci-fi story about two elderly roommates who are randomly selected for a gene therapy trial that makes their bodies younger while keeping their memories intact.
Following her win with the film at Venice, she was selected to participate in the HFPA and Film Independent’s residency program in Los Angeles.
Västinsalo’s previous work includes the shorts Man Under Bride and Wombsong, which were respectively nominated for Best VR Story at Venice 2020 and Best Virtual Reality Film at the 2019 NYC Independent Film Festival.
