Part of Intellect's World Film Locations series, "World Film
Locations: Helsinki "explores the relationship between the city,
cinema, and Finnish cultural history. Cinematic representations of
Helsinki range from depictions of a northern periphery to a space
of cosmopolitanism, from a touristic destination to a substitute
for Moscow and St. Petersburg during the Cold War. The city also
looks different depending on one's perspective, and "World Film
Locations: Helsinki" illustrates this complexity by providing a
visual collection of cinematic views of Helsinki.
This cinematic city is a collective work where individual pieces
construct a whole, and one which we, as viewers, then shape
according to our perspectives. The contributors emphasize the role
of the city in identity and cultural politics throughout Finnish
film history and its central role as the locus for negotiating
Finland's globalization.
