I was also very disappointed that Paikallisliike got so little coverage. Yet, it is a very important “aside-happening” of the festival in Kuopio. Many a time a have wondered what for example Helsingin Sanomat picks up for critics etc. anyvay.

Here in North Karelia Tero Saarinen´s interview was published - of the working process - two of three days after the his performance and no critic was published. Sometimes I wonder where the media is going nowadays.

In overall view I would like to mention that Jukka O. Miettinen´s - Helsingin Sanomat - pencil is not anymore quite sharp. I was very disappointed for example in what he wrote in his critic of Alpo Aaltokoski´s Tärkeintä on olla. There was no real SUBSTANCE in that article, to my mind.
