Fardosa is a short coming-of-age fiction film shot in Helsinki, Finland 2019. The entire cast consists of Finnish-Somali non-professional actors. And the film is a collaboration between its co-stars Rukia Mahamed and Iqlaas Osman – first-time actors, writers and filmmakers – and director Anton Tammi.
The film is titled after it's lead character, Fardosa (acted by Rukia Mahamed). The film's dream-like sequences build a vision of Fardosa's identity and her experience of life and relationships growing up as a teen in Helsinki. Her bond with her cousin envelops a deep, sincere understanding of one another, which in turn opens up the framework of their culture. And their wider circle - their friends around the city- show the girls just having a good time.
In the film the character Fardosa sums up her multi-dimensional identity:
“Sometimes I feel like I live more than one life.
There’s the one I live with my family. And another one I live with my friends.
But then there’s the third one that I live by myself.”
Rukia Mahamed, Actor and Director “Personally to me it’s a film about a girl that always is willing to put others first and trying to please her family and friends until she starts to lose herself in everyones world, sometimes she just wants to disappear in her own peaceful world.”
Iqlaas Osman, Actor and Director “It’s a young woman’s journey of growth within the generational and cultural framework. Finally seeing Fardosa’s character floating to a dream like state.”
Anton Tammi, Director “Collaborating with Rukia and Iqlaas was alot based on improvisation, that allowed them to tell their own story, with their own style. The film is an end result of our collective values, moods, and taste that we all share.”
A film by Rukia Mahamed, Iqlaas Osman and Anton Tammi
