For Final Scenes for Disaster Movies (2023), me and Oliver invited residents of Helsinki to imagine final scenes of imaginary disaster movies. The only condition was that the scenes had to take place in Kansalaistori, a square in the heart of Helsinki.
Of the 105 submissions, we realised three. One hundred volunteers performed in the films.
The commissioning organisation, Helsinki Festival, premiered the films in the same square where they were shot, as a free opening event for an audience of 15,000. The musical score was composed and performed live by Cleaning Women. The project was curated by Marko Ahtisaari.
