Rai Rai! is a documentary about the grim reality of the Finnish rock 'n' roll dream and the intense brotherhood – a tale of what it means to be Finnish, the wild energy of summer nights, regret, hangovers, and a dash of glorious madness.

Released in 2005, the documentary follows Kotiteollisuus, a band riding high on their fame, as they tour across Finland, laughing at and weeping for both themselves and their audience. In the midst of boyish prank-playing and downright mayhem-making, band members Hynynen, Hongisto, and Sinkkonen find themselves wondering at the twisted affair they’ve got with such things as fame, stardom and sometimes even with their own personalities.

Joining us at the screening, Jouni Hynynen from Kotiteollisuus and directors Sami Parkkinen and Jaakko Kilpiäinen will talk about the making of the film and answer audience questions.

This one made it into the anniversary lineup thanks to a public vote. Rai Rai! first rocked the screen at Rokumentti back in 2005.
