Kalle Kaarna

Died in 1957

Kalle Kaarna was, from the late twenties to 1939, one of the directors of the small Finnish production companies. He worked for Filmi Oy Kotka, Sarastus, Jäger-Filmi and others, writing his own screenplays, sometimes with the novelist Katri Viita. In 1931 he directed one of the country's first four sound feature films, which was a great success. Forever moving from one short-lived company to another, he remained in the shadow of the star directors of the two big studios. Almost all his films were lost in an archive fire.
