We are honoured to be promoting the @RaindanceFilm

We are honoured to be promoting the @RaindanceFilmFestival UK Premiere of PALIMPSEST, a compelling and emotionally charged film that tells the story of an elderly woman and man who are chosen for a gene therapy trial that reverses the ageing process. With the memories of their past lives intact, in a world full of opportunities, they realise that growing young is not just fun. This unusual love story asks, ‘What would you do with a second chance?’

Nominated for #Raindance2023 Best International Feature strikes a delicate balance between poignancy and hope, seamlessly blending science-fiction elements with a deeply human and relatable story.

You won't want to miss this outstanding Finnish film, debuting at Vue Piccadilly, London, on 29 Oct at 6PM. There will be a Q&A with Hanna Västinsalo, moderated by The Female Film Club. Book your tickets now!

Join us for a very special night at the cinema!

We will screen Eatnameamet - Our Silent Struggle by Suvi West (Doavtter-Piera Suvi Máret) at Odeon Luxe Haymarket, London on Tuesday 26 September, 6pm.

The film is followed by a Q&A with Vice President of the Sámi Parliament Koivu-Jusse Ánne (Anni Koivisto) and activist Ella Biehtár Arvvu Iiddá (Ida-Maria Helander).

Eatnameamet – Our Silent Struggle is a political documentary revealing the Finnish Government’s assimilation and colonization policy towards the Sámi people. The Sámi people are fighting for their existence and their uncertain future with political acts. Eatnameamet is a pamphlet and a cry for help for the future of the only indigenous people of the European Union – through the voices of the Sámi people themselves.

The screening is open to all and free of charge, registration is needed via Eventbrite. Head to the link in our bio and register now!

The film is in Sámi and Finnish with English subtitles. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has the latest technology to provide audio description and hard-of-hearing facilities.

The film screening and related visits are a collaborative project by the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland, the Sámi Parliament, Embassy of Finland in London, The Finnish Presidency of the Euro-Arctic Council 2021-2023, Embassy of Finland in Brussels, and The Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux.
