Finnish Film Festival

Nordanåteatern, Skellefteå

Welcome to explore Finnish film this winter during the weekend of December 5-7 at Nordanå

For film lovers, there are few things as fascinating as Finnish cinema. It combines everyday realism with dark humor, the stillness of nature with the inner human being. Here you will find stories where a look can say more than a monologue.

The typical Finnish tone – stoic, low-key and at the same time deeply human – lives on, but today’s filmmakers are taking it in new directions. Alongside the melancholic dramas in the spirit of Kaurismäki, a new generation is growing that dares to play with genres: twisted comedies, unexpected feel-good films and intense thrillers.

This festival is a celebration of everything that makes Finnish cinema so unique: its simplicity, honesty and relentless focus on humanity. Sit back, let the darkness fall – and discover Finland through the quiet power of film.
