Naiset ohjaimessa / Women at the Helm
The first retrospective of women directors in Finland, in the autumn program of 1985 at the Cinema Orion of the Finnish Film Archive. This was the last film archive season programmed and signed by Peter von Bagh. I wrote the series introduction to the program booklet, the first one to which I contributed full time.
