Established in 2016, Globe Art Point is an umbrella organization with a mission to enhance diversity in the Finnish art and culture scene by supporting the working circumstances, visibility and cultural-political status of the non-Finnish-born artists and art workers resident in Finland. How to get your film seen in Finland? is part of the GAP INFO project and supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture, City of Helsinki and the Finnish Culture Foundation.

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, groundbreaking and visually stunning new films.
