Ympyrän neliöimisestä (2021)

Square the Circle (Ympyrän neliöimisestä FIN) by director Hanna Hovitie combines 360 technology and digital animation in a video installation. The film navigates the borderlands between documentary, fiction and the personal essay of a procrastinating perfectionist who is afraid of infinity.
