Hey kids, here comes the other part of your present: the second short movie by Jalmari Helander, this one is called Rare Exports: The Official Safety Instructions.
How to handle Santa? What are the Dos and Don´ts?
You will be much wiser after watching this:



A little backround info for those of you who have never heard about the short movies and the feature film that followed them. Wikipedia, do your magic:

"In 2003 the Finnish commercials production company Woodpecker Film published the short movie "Rare Exports Inc. on the internet. Here author and director Jalmari Helander established a band of three hunters (marker, sniper and tracker) searching the wilderness of Lapland for the wild Santa Claus. After the positive reception from the internet audience, Woodpecker Film produced and published the sequel short movie "Rare Exports: The Official Safety Instructions" in 2005, again with Helander as director and author."

Finally they produced the feature film "Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale" with a 1,803,000 € budget. The flick hit Finnish cinemas on December 3rd, 2010. It had already premiered as early as September 9th the same year on the Fantastic Fest in Austin. The movie was never shown in German cinemas but was released over there directly on dvd and blu-ray.
