Jussi Awards
The Jussi Awards are Finland's premier film industry prizes, awarded annually to recognize the achievements of directors, actors, and writers. History The first Jussi Awards ceremony was held on 16 November 1944 at the Restaurant Adlon in Helsinki. The award is one of the oldest films awards in Europe. The original planned name for the prize was ''Aino'', but Jussi won in the end. The name comes from a character in the 1924 and 1936 Pohjalaisia films. The awards were originally organized by the ''Elokuvajournalistit'' organization, but the task was transferred in the early 1960s to the ''Filmiaura'' organization, composed of around 300 members working in the Finnish film industry. Because of the controversy surrounding the transfer, no awards were handed out in 1960 and 1961. Description The award trophy is a gypsum statuette depicting a standing man with a hat, based on the character of Jussi in the aforementioned films. It was designed by sculptor Ben Renvall.

The role went to Helsinki resident Vihtori Välimäki. ''Pekka ja Pätkä lumimiehen jäljillä'' incorporates elements reminiscent of horror films. Notable scenes include Pätkä climbing a wall and Justiina being used as bait for the Yeti.Arto Pajukallio, Movies: ''Pekka ja Pätkä lumimiehen jäl ...

''Let Not One Devil Cross the Bridge'' () is a 1968 Finnish anthology comedy film directed by Matti Kassila.

The film is starring Maija Karhi, Pentti Siimes, Helge Herala and Toivo Mäkelä. Director Kassila returned to film directing after a five-year hiatus.
