Commissioned by Helsinki Festival, 2023

For the Final Scenes for Disaster Movies, residents of Helsinki were invited to imagine a final scene for an imaginary disaster movie. The only condition set for participants: the scene had to take place at Kansalaistori, a square in the heart of Helsinki. From 105 submissions, we realised scene ideas by Roberto Fusco, Hanna Happo and Anna van der Laan. 100 volunteers acted in the films.

The commissioner of the work, Helsinki Festival, organised a free outdoor screening for 15.000 people in the same square where the movie was filmed. The musical score was performed live by Cleaning Women.
