Especially with…

Olin kuullut huolestuttavia uutisia jostain koronaviruksesta, joka oli tehnyt tuhojaan Kiinassa. Minua huolestutti hiukan. Mutta vain hiukan. Luin junassa netistä uusimpia uutisia Tampereen elokuvajuhlista. Ja suunnittelin listaa elokuvista, joita haluaisin nähdä. Tampereen elokuvajuhlilla on ollut monta nimeä. Jossain vaiheessa nimenä oli Tampereen lyhytelokuvafestivaali,…

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. Historically, it has been an unruly child who has demanded a little bit too much attention and money, a troublemaker with identity issues, part of a relatively civilised cultural family whose members are accustomed to other, more traditional, modes of…
Nathalie Hyde-Clarke (PhD), Head of the Department of Culture and Media, Arcada UAS Social impact is understood to be the influence and effect an organisation has on the well-being and development of its community.

Tidigare i år var vårt team “nice at ping pong” med i Uneton48-tävlingen där vi fick pris för både Bästa Smink samt Domarnas Favorit vilket var huvudpriset! Uneton48 är en tävling där hela produktionen sker under 48 timmar från tävlingens början: manus, inspelningar, editering och ljud som exempel. Det är alltså en hel kortfilmsproduktion på två dygn. Vanligtvis tar det mycket längre att göra en film. Filmen måste fylla vissa…
