Equal Dust

Elämä ja yö / Equal Dust


Short films, Finland 2025, 14 Min., finn. OV, engl. st


The superimposed texts transform the found-footage shots of a nocturnal drive through Helsinki into an apocalyptic vision. We are told that the footage comes from November 1983, when the world was on the brink of nuclear war. At the same time, the split screen shows the Finnish acts at the Eurovision Song Contests of the '80s: Glam pop, likewise infected with the fear of nuclear catastrophe.

 The film is part of the short film programme Nordic Shorts 5: Chilled.
