In his two short films, “The Oracle” and “Tom Encounters a Reunion”, Jens Toivakainen has been developing a personal expression of this theme. Rather than on the physical and social liberation, he has been focusing on the individual’s mental and/or spiritual liberation, liberation from those powers in life that hold back and represses mans self-realisation.” Jens ToivakainenBorn in 1982, in Helsinki, Jens Toivakainen graduated as a BA (hons) in Video Arts Production from University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone, Kent. He is now working as a freelance in Helsinki.
