International Promotion

The Finnish Film Foundation is responsible for the cultural export of Finnish films. The goal of International Promotion is to make Finland, Finnish film art and Finnish culture known abroad and to promote international sales of Finnish films.

The goal is to screen Finnish films at as many as possible internationally significant film festivals abroad and other events. The fundamental principle of International Promotion is to have each film at a festival which is right for the film and available for audience which is suitable for the film. Viewers attained this way make up a notable addition to the annual number of viewers of Finnish films.

The international promotion of Finnish short and documentary films carried out by The Foundation is also supported by AVEK – The Promotion Centre for Audio-Visual Culture in Finland

The Finnish Film Foundation also grants financial support for producers and filmmakers who want to attend film festivals where their films are screened and support for a film print made for cultural exchange. The persons who grant this support are Jaana Puskala, Head of Feature Film Promotion and Marja Pallassalo, Head of Short and Documentary Film Promotion. Their decisions are approved by Irina Krohn, the Managing Director.
