Luin junassa netistä uusimpia uutisia Tampereen elokuvajuhlista. Ja suunnittelin listaa elokuvista, joita haluaisin nähdä. Tampereen elokuvajuhlilla on ollut monta nimeä.

Jan Nåls, Principal Lecturer, Department of Culture and Media, Arcada UAS The Swedish speaking minority in Finland has its own unique film culture – commonly referred to as Finlandssvensk film.
