NAM! HELSINKI NAMIBIAN FILM FESTIVAL

NAM! Helsinki Namibian Film Festival offers unique encounters through Namibian films, rarely seen in Finland. The festival selection consists of fresh, entertaining and thought-provoking films. These films showcase the rich cultural diversity of Namibia at present day and in the past. A central theme of change affecting the country as well as individuals, is told by Namibians themselves.
During recent years, the Namibian film industry is experiencing its prime time. The festival selection includes five feature films, six short films and one documentary of which the majority have premiered during the last three years.
A significant number of these are directed, produced or written by women.
The event is organised by Finnish-Namibian Society and
all the screenings have a free admission.
