CGiii Comment
Tove and Tooti in Europe is based on silent Super 8 footage shot by the graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilä and the famous author Tove Jansson. During the years 1972 – 1993 they made numerous trips to Europe carrying always the old Konica with them. The 8mm films transmit touchingly the artist’s and the writer’s humorous and original way of observing people, culture and the everyday life.
They have immortalized the lovers in Paris, cats, dogs and fleamarkets in London, horse races in Ireland, graveyards, and breathtaking views of Corsica.The document forms a portrait of a Europe that no longer exists. The profound and candid commentary is based on an interview with Tuulikki Pietilä and on the short stories written by Tove Jansson.
