Ruutsalo had been a fighter pilot during the Second World War and had studied the very au courant Abstract Expressionism after the war in both his own country of Finland and in the United States of America.

Blue-Eyed Helsinki

Blue-Eyed Helsinki

A boat trip in the Helsinki archipelago: images of water, light and people on the cruise. The same people are met in the city in different situations: at work, with their family, in conversations with a circle of friends, meditating and figuring out their duties. Work and aspirations are important and encouraging to them. They all seem to have something personal to say about their time, their views and their imaginations.

Hetkiä yössä

Hetkiä yössä

Experimental Finnish movie from 1961, about one night in the city. In 1960, the director Eino Ruutsalo spoke of the movie with these words: "The camera moves around the night - loose images are created - they create memories, consortia in us, or do not create. Man as such is interesting. Woman for a man. Man for a woman. There is no final destiny - there are only events. Different people touch each other - nothing is too solid and not ready. Everything hovers and gets new shapes".
