The Ars 69 Helsinki exhibition in the spring of 1969 was my initiation to the stunning cast of artists on display and whole entire movements of contemporary art including pop art, kinetic art, minimalism, op and installation art.

On the day of the Marilyn Monroe Centenary, 1 June 2026, I remembered Andy Warhol, one of the artists shocked by her death in 1962. I was also still digesting the giant Alexander Calder exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton. My introduction both to Warhol and Calder took place at the Ars 69 Helsinki exhibition.

Aalto ELO Film School Spring Show 2026

 
Poster photo from: Viljami Penttilä: Major Bag Alert (FI 2026).

AA: The Aalto ELO Film School Shows are always highlights in both the spring and autumn seasons of the movie world.

They are full of joy and wit, love and horror, vitality and fantasy.
They are in search of lost time, and they project imaginations of disaster.
They express empathy, concern, despair and apocalyptica.
They are in registers of nuance and hyperbole, naturalism and expressionism, minimalism and maximalism,
in genres including contemporary fiction, studies of relationships, historical drama, comedies of embarrassment, Gothic horror, psychotic thriller and experimental essay.
in domains of documentary, fiction, animation and experimental cinema.

Energy is the most important superpower in a movie.
These screenings are great showcases of young energy.

My Aalto ELO Film School Show 2026 blog remarks:
Aalto ELO Film School Spring Show 2026 IV embargo - remarks on Veren maku suussa, Munkki and Major Bag Alert will be published when the school lifts the embargo.

Villasukka liittyy kattiloiden kovaan konserttiin, mutta kuka voikaan kuulla pientä Villasukkaa?
SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH (3-10 RIVIÄ) 
Woollen sock wakes to a loud noise. Curiosity takes over the sock, and it finds a loud band of pots and pans. The little woollen sock is so captivated by the music and decides to join the chaotic band, not knowing yet what it will play. 
SYNOPSIS IN FINNISH
Maassa lojuva villasukka havahtuu kovaan meluun. Uteliaisuus vie voiton ja villasukka löytää keittiön pöydältä kattiloiden kovan konsertin. Pieni villasukka jää musiikin pauloihin ja liittyy kaaoksen omaiseen bändiin, tietämättä, mitä soittaa.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR 
Katariina Haukka studies animation at the Aalto University, School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Department of Film (ELO). Villasukka is Haukka’s Master Thesis film.

AA: A stylish, accomplished, imaginative animation with a charming score. I like the warm glow of the colour world and the dynamic contrast between the hard metal and the soft wool.

ONE LINER IN ENGLISH *
Our time is up.
ONE LINER IN FINNISH *
Aikamme on lopussa.
SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH *
By presenting one ordinary day of an impersonal everyman character who is both everyone and no one in particular, the film explores our age as a mechanical and dehumanising reality of consperforming of banal tasks, work and numbing but unfulfilling leisure, without direction or waterproof rationale behind it. Flow of observing this everyman is interrupted by esseistic montages on themes of work, leisure and meaning. There is an voice-over narration that moves in the zones between childlike questioning, sardonic, deadpan humour and truist-poetic observations
SYNOPSIS IN FINNISH *
Esittämällä yhden tavallisen päivän persoonattoman jokamieshahmon elämästä – hahmon, joka on yhtä aikaa kaikki ja ei kukaan erityinen – elokuva tarkastelee aikamme todellisuutta mekaanisena ja epäinhimillistävänä tilana, joka koostuu banaalien tehtävien suorittamisesta, työstä sekä turruttavasta mutta tyydyttämättömästä vapaa-ajasta, vailla suuntaa tai kestävää perustelua olemassaololleen.
Tämän jokamiehen havainnointiin keskittyvä virta keskeytyy esseistisiin montaasijaksoihin, jotka käsittelevät työn, vapaa-ajan ja merkityksen teemoja. Elokuvassa kertojaääni liikkuu lapsenomaisen kyseenalaistamisen, sardonisen, lakonisen huumorin ja truistis-poeettisen havainnoinnin alueella.

AA: I like the ambition. The concept - "our time is up" - could not be greater. Solomon Luoma pursues the biggest perspective but has the wisdom to keep his vision grounded to the everyman protagonist. His visual range covers the experimental, abstract, realist, kitchen sink, surveillance camera and stone age painting. On offer is a montage of associations about our road to nowhere.

Ei se leikkimällä muuksi muutu.
SYNOPSIS IN ENGLISH *
After a litany of bad relationships Rebekka has finally found the one, Osku. Though a little younger and cornier than her, he makes Rebekka happy. At the graduation party of Rebekka’s goddaughter, Rebekka runs to an old colleague of hers, and possibly, her future mother-in-law. Things are revealed about Osku that Rebekka hasn’t wanted to see.
SYNOPSIS IN FINNISH *
Huonojen ihmissuhteiden litanian jälkeen Rebekka on viimein löytänyt sen oikean, Oskun. Vaikka Osku on hieman sokerisempi ja nuorempi, hän tekee Rebekan onnelliseksi. Rebekan kummityttären valmistujaisjuhlissa Rebekka törmää vanhaan kollegaansa – ja mahdollisesti tulevaan anoppiinsa. Oskusta selviää asioita, joita Rebekka ei ole tahtonut nähdä.

AA: An interesting drama of relationships. Three years after their first night together, Rebekka and Osku reconnect. Rebekka is shocked to learn by accident that Osku is so much younger than she, and she cannot get over it. The world has changed. Traditionally, women were attracted to men who were older, even significantly older. That is no longer necessarily the case. Jori Pirkkalainen refuses to give a solution to the complex situation.
