Helena Aleksandrova | art director | filmmaker

I am a Helsinki-based artist and cinephile who engages with film and moving images through the roles of director, editor, writer, performer, and art director, My work is deeply influenced by site-specificity, using existing spaces to shape my storytelling. My visually rich films explore subcultures, urban mythology, and genre cinema.

In April 2023, I established a film collective Film Tonight! together with Mariangela Pluchino, Roxana Sadvokassova and Jelica Jerinic.

I hold a double BA in Film & Video Theory from Bard College, USA and Smolny College, St.Petersburg, Russia. In 2017, I received a Master's degree in Visual Culture and Contemporary Art from Aalto University, Finland. In 2019, I was a participant of the Academy of Moving People and Images (AMPI). In 2021, I joined AMPI as a coordinator. I received grants from SKR, Kone Foundation, TAIKE, AVEK. My works were shown around Finland, Belgium, Croatia, Latvia, and Czech Republic.
