Abstract
The creation of World Film Locations Helsinki draws inspiration from the pathbreaking efforts of Peter von Bagh, Minna Santakari and Outi Heiskanen whose work with the cinematic city has et the bar high for future explorations. In providing a visual and textual guide for international readers, the editors at Intellect have provided constant support for the project. Especially of note are the efforts of Gabriel Solomons, the editor heading the World Film Locations lineup. In constructing a book on a topic simultaneously as marginal and central to film studies as the history of Helsinki, all the contributors have provided intriguing and invigorating perspectives to the city that continue the existing legacy and expand it in significant ways.
