Festival
Sunflower Film and Photo Festival is a multilingual film festival built around the theme of peace. The programme features films that offer a perspective on the everyday lives and cultural and natural landscape of people living in or leaving the Middle East. The films tell the story of life outside the wars.
The event is free of charge!
The Sunflower festival is produced by journalist-documentarian Rasoul Khorram in collaboration with the Helinä Rautavaara Museum. The festival will take place at Kannusali in the Espoo centre (Espoon keskus) Tue-Wed 23.-24.5.2023.
During the event, Rasoul Khorram’s photographic exhibition My Mother’s Finnish Flowers will be on display in Kannusali.
The festival is being held for the first time.
