Lasipalatsi square is located in Kamppi, the centre of Helsinki. Most of the screenings and joint broadcast events of MFF2010 will take place at this square.

At the back of the Lasipalatsi square is the CityWall - installed as a rear projection to the window. It is a public screen of 2.40m width and 1m height running on Multi Touch design for interactive multimedia presentations. There are possibilities of installing the box to a front facade of the building, a setting that is also possible in other MFF 2010 cities.
