Joensuu
27th September -
1st October 2006
Viscult, the Finnnish film festival is held in Joensuu, located
near the Russian border in Finland, and introduces ethnographic,
anthropological and documentary films.
This year, Viscult is looking for films about urban
life and about everything created by the urban environment:
subcultures, cultural diversity, conflict and conflict resolution,
unity, rural versus urban.
The event is personal in nature, the majority of
filmmakers present to introduce their work, encouraging discussions
of the films, film-making, and culture. It also works closely with
the University of Joensuu and its students.
The festival uses modern technology to bridge
geographical obstacles and to our knowledge is the first film
festival in the world that streams all content - films and
discussions alike - live on the Internet all over the world. This
brings great possibilities for promotion of the filmmakers, the
producers, the distributors etc.
Film content is ethnographic, anthropological
and documentary. Student films are very welcome.
