PÖFF TV ESITLEB: intervjueerija Milani Perera vestleb Rauno Ronkaineni, ühe tänavuse "Frame Within a Frame" programmi mentoriga.
Ronkainen on üks Soome tunnustatumaid operaatoreid, kelle karjäär mängufilmide ja telesarjade valdkonnas ulatub üle viieteiskümne aasta. Tema teekond algas 1990. aastatel operaatoriõpingutega Helsingi Kunsti-ja Disainiülikoolis (tänapäeval Aalto Ülikooli osa). Tema portfoolios on 19 mängufilmi ja arvukalt dokumentaale, telesarju ja reklaame. Tema operaatoritööd iseloomustab klassikaliste ja kaasaegsete filmimistehnikate ühendamine, mis toetavad loo dramaturgiat. Tema tööfilosoofia põhineb hoolikal eelproduktsioonil ja meeskonna ühisel kirel loo vastu. Lisaks on ta töötanud ka Aalto Ülikooli operaatoritöö professorina. Ronkaineni töö on toonud talle nii kodumaist kui ka rahvusvahelist tunnustust, sealhulgas Silver Frog auhinna Camerimage'il filmi "Helene" eest ja Kodak Visioni auhinna Göteborgi filmifestivalil filmi "Frozen Land" eest. Ta on neljakordne Jussi auhinna võitja parima operaatoritöö eest, mis on Soome riiklik mängufilmide auhind.
Lisaks filmifestivali filmiprogrammile linastub internetis PÖFF TV kanal, mis toob teieni eksklusiivsed intervjuud filmitegijatega ja aitab avada filmimaailma telgitaguseid.
