The film club Projektio revived with open-air screenings at Studio Aalto!

Projektio was an art and experimental film club founded in 1934, at one time chaired by Alvar Aalto. The club, for instance, showed short films by the Aaltos’ modernist friends László Moholy-Nagy and Fernand Léger, as well as full-length silent films by Charlie Chaplin.

The theme of European Heritage Days 2025 is “Heritage and Architecture: Windows to the Past, Doors to the Future”, in honour of which the Alvar Aalto Foundation is staging two film screenings in the spirit of film club Projektio in the garden amphitheatre at Studio Aalto.

Friday, 12 September, 19:30: Charlie Chaplin’s classic Modern Times (1936). 1h 23min. Finnish subtitles. The screening will be introduced by film researcher Antti Alanen. The screening is fully booked.

Saturday, 13 September, 20:00: Architecton (2024), written and directed by Viktor Kossakovsky. 1h 38min. English-language documentary with Finnish subtitles. Tickets from Pop Up Kino Helsinki. Max. 75 spectators.
