What would your film be like, Your Cin\u00e9?<\/p>\n<p>For the second time, Espoo Cin\u00e9 is organising an idea competition Your Cin\u00e9. It is an initiative for a more diverse cinema and thus, aimed at those whose stories we do not see enough on the big screens.<strong> In 2023 we are looking for stories from students and amateurs from the LGBTIQ+ community in the Nordic and Baltic region<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>The jury composed of experts from the Finnish Screenwriters Guild will select ten (10) ideas to participate in a workshop which will be held on Thursday and Friday August 17-18, 2023 at Kino Tapiola, Espoo. The event is organised in collaboration with the Finnish Screenwriters Guild and the Finnish Film Directors Guild SELO. At the end of the workshop, one (1) of the ideas will be chosen as the winner which will receive a prize of 2 500 euros. The prize is made possible by Nordisk Film Finland. The selection criteria are the originality of the idea, its feasibility, the dramaturgical structure, and the emotional impact. <\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2022 the winner of the award was Pinja Eskola. Honorary mentions were given to Miska Tuononen and Janina Korkia-Aho.
