This is an experiment in which Yle, the Finnish Broadcasting Company gave power to the people, opened its archives to the public and saw what happened. Anyone could participate and re-edit or modify the footage as they liked. The aim of the project was to get a fresh new look at Finland and the Finns. We received 372 new short films, more than we estimated. People of all ages and from all fields of life were incredibly creative and made short films that tell stories about the past, present and future Finland. All films were published and still remain available on Yle Areena. The project also broke new ground in the art and museum world. The short films were on display in several art museums around Finland, the works of amateurs and professionals exhibited side by side. We also arranged video workshops in museums. The age of the filmmakers was between 11 and 80 years. The year ended with a television series, six 30 minute episodes. Each episode focused on a certain theme. In this episode the theme is humor, and presenter Minna Joenniemi watches and comments on short films with a well known blogger and graphic designer Kasper Strömman, famous for his clever and peculiar humor.
