Anna-Karin Grönroos

The Finnish designer Henrik Wahlforss had a flourishing career in industrial design and innovation in the 1970s. In 1980, he decided, however, to leave his career to write a book. Not any book; he wanted to write his prediction about the future, which became for him a life-long project. Combining archive material, interviews, and dramatizations, the film Tidresenären brings the viewer closer to Wahlforss’s fascinating life and predictions.

Conductivity is a film about creative leadership told through the story of three young conductors at the prestigious Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland; I-Han Fu (Taiwan), Emilia Hoving (Finland) and James Kahane (France). When stepping on the podium, they are put under a magnifying glass. Conductor training, in essence, is leadership training. The film gives a unique viewpoint to follow the students, as this is the first film about conductor training at the Sibelius Academy.
