Abstract
10 Letters to the Future is a mosaic-like documentary film, born out of a collective effort in times when everything stopped. The global reality of state of emergencies penetrated everything we had taken for granted, and many people took stock of their lives in a new light. What happened to us and what is the future we want to be heading to?
As the virus controls the world, schoolchildren start collecting letters to be encapsulated in a wooden chest built by the students, to be opened after 50 years. The documentary is a time capsule in itself.
DIRECTORS (storylines): Anu Kuivalainen, Esa Illi, Sanna Liljander, Katja Gauriloff, Markku Heikkinen, Juho Reinikainen, Saara Helene Rawat, Susanna Helke, Sari Aaltonen, Pauliina Punkki
OTHER DIRECTORS: Jussi Rastas, Leena Kilpeläinen, Saija Mäki-Nevala, Timo Korhonen, Einari Paakkanen, Laura Rantanen, Terjo Aaltonen, Aija Salovaara, Niina Brandt, Mauri Lähdesmäki, Tuuli Teelahti, Saara Hakkarainen, Ville Tanttu, Tiina Meling, Larisa Rudolfson, Heli Pekkonen, Reetta Huhtanen, Kirsikka Paakkinen
