European film weeks 8.4 – 20.4.2016
The motto for the European film weeks 2016 is the same as the EU-motto: “United in diversity”. The Europeans have a rich identity, with a belief in their own ability, a curiosity about other cultures, an ability to appreciate their own and other people’s opinions and fight prejudices as well as the courage to pursue their own dreams and the strength to build a better future.
The program includes 24 interesting films that have the theme of, among other things, equality, freedom, justice, growth and tolerance.
The film stories cover subjects such as fear and prejudice, empathy, love and solidarity.
The event is organized by the European Commission’s Representation in Finland and the European Parliament’s Information Office in Finland, together with the embassies and cultural institutes of the EU countries and the EU candidate countries.
The event is free of charge. Eurooppasali (Malminkatu 16, Helsinki) has room for 100 spectators. Tickets are distributed in the Eurooppasali entrance hall one hour before each performance begins and the doors to Eurooppasali are opened ten minutes before the film begins. The films are subtitled in English. Welcome!
