Paul-Anders Simma (born 27 September 1959) is a Finnish Sámi film director and screenwriter. His 1997 film The Minister of State was entered into the 20th Moscow International Film Festival.[1]
After the Norwegian Nils Gaup’s film Pathfinder (1987) was the first Sámi full-length movie, Simma’s film The Minister of State (1997) was the second. After this, more full-length movies in Sámi languages haven’t been completed.[2] The Minister of State is a comedy about an outlaw arriving to a small village in the meeting point of Norway, Sweden and Finland. People mistake him for a minister of the Finnish government. The man uses the mistake in order to gain trust from the villagers.
