The troll house of Nukitsamees in the Rutu hills
Helle Karis filmed Oskar Luts's children's tale Nukitsamees around Karksi-Nuia in 1981. The forest house of the troll family was built a few kilometres from the town, in the Rutu hills at Paanikse, about half a kilometre into the forest from the Rutu campfire site. By 2016 the clearing had grown over. Only the large cornerstones that held up the witch's house show where it stood. The children's home farm, Killatsi, lies south of Karksi on the shore of the Kassepa reservoir. The opening scenes by a big boulder were shot on Majori farm. The stone had been placed there just for the filming. The film's songs were written by Olav Ehala, with words by Juhan Viiding.

Helle Karis filmis Oskar Lutsu lastejutu "Nukitsamees" 1981. aastal Karksi-Nuia ümbruses. Kollide metsamaja ehitati alevist mõne kilomeetri kaugusele Rutu mägedesse Paanikse, Rutu lõkkekohast umbes pool kilomeetrit metsa. 2016. aastaks oli lagendik võsastunud. Nõiamaja asukohta reedavad vaid kogukad nurgakivid, millele ehitis toetus. Laste kodutalu, Killatsi talu, asub Karksist lõuna pool Kassepa paisjärve kaldal. Filmi alguskaadrid suure kivi juures võeti üles Majori talu maadel. Kivi toodi metsaveerde ainult võteteks. Filmis kõlab Olav Ehala muusika Juhan Viidingu sõnadele.
