Founded in 1988, the Helsinki International Film Festival – Love & Anarchy has been held annually ever since. The aim of Finland’s biggest film festival is to promote the artistry of filmmaking alongside inventive, controversial and visually stunning new films. The festival also seeks to screen films that would otherwise not be seen in Finnish theatres. LGBTQ+ themes have been represented at the Helsinki International Film Festival – Love & Anarchy since the beginning. “Every year we strive for a diverse programme with queer themes at the forefront in both film selection and events. The values of the association highlight diversity, inclusivity and social justice.“
The programme for the 32nd HIFF – Love & Anarchy will be announced September 5th, 2019. The festival will be held September 19th to 29th, 2019. For more information
