With his sudden death we loose a sincerely and passionate champion of creative documentary.
During his career, Iikka stood at the cradle of many great documentaries. As a commissioning editor at YLE, independent producer, co-founder of Rough Cut Boutique and mentor he touched many filmmakers with his critical and outspoken voice, his humor and quick sighted eye for things that really matter. IDFA is grateful for his dedication as a member of the advisory board in the past.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends,
The staff of IDFA
