بیوگرافی
Independent filmmaker / producer Ilppo Pohjola works with the vocabulary of film, examining its structural and social elements in order to create a body of work that pushes the limits of the medium's physical possibilities. He works between the narrative tropes of Hollywood and the deconstructive methodologies of independent film. The cumulative bodies of knowledge in Pohjola's works are noticeable for their crispness of conception and excess of information. Given his interest in the formal elements of filmmaking, the content of Pohjola's works are surprisingly physical and sensual, even if assaultive.
Ilppo Pohjola has studied at the Center for Advanced Film and Television Studies of the American Film Institute and at Media Arts Department of Sheridan College, Toronto. He has graduated from Faculty of Art, Design and Film of Harrow College of Higher Education, London.
