Shine on you crazy diamonds

Stills from documentary Boheemi elää about the great Finnish actor Matti Pellonpää. As a film it's horrible but the 8mm films from Peltsi's childhood are amazing and inventive. He made them with a friend who lived closeby. There was one 8mm still image I wanted to include, opening credits with letters placed on two red pillows, but it was hard to find because it was edited further away from the other 8mm bits. I didn't remember what part it was linked to and I couldn't bear to rewind and forward among the messy documentary for very long. So this is what I gathered:
















The lady in the last pic was a neighbor (?) of Peltsi's, "a natural born actress".
