The 35th Espoo Ciné has been successfully completed, and now it's time to warmly thank all film lovers who visited the festival. A big thank you also to all the supporters and volunteers, without whom our festival would not have been possible.
39 sold-out or fully booked screenings, 119 films, 25 venues, and an impressive amount of side programme, all the way from guest and discussions to live music. The ten-day-long Espoo Ciné contained numerous funny, touching and dramatic moments with European and Japanese cinema. The official audience figures from the festival will be published in just over two weeks, when Junior Ciné film festival, aimed at children and young people, concludes. In any case, it can already be said that the 2024 Espoo Ciné felt thoroughly warm and enthusiastic.
To help us continue to develop the festival, you can participate in our audience survey here. Everyone who responds to the survey by 16 September will be entered into a raffle for a ticket bundle of six tickets for the 2025 festival.
Although the festival is now over, it will return again next year to cheer up the late summer evenings.
But for now, we thank you warmly – see you in 2025!
