A documentary film about the Finnish band Hassisen Kone is being made, called *Hassisen Kone 40 years later*.

The film tells the story of the band’s preparations for the anniversary concert of the same name, which took place earlier this year. The film will also cover the history of the band and the growth of its members into adulthood.

This can be found in the Finnish Film Foundation’s press release and funding decision.

The band managed to release three studio albums in Finnish: *Täää tullaaan Rusää* (1980), *Rumat Sävelet* (1981) and *Harsoinen teräs* (1982).
