What has kept you going? What are you dreaming of? What would you love to see change in your life and in the communities we share? This is a space for our stories, our ideas, our aspirations, and our belief that a better future is possible when we make room for one another. Hope is not just something we carry within us. It is something we can create together. 27 November, 18 December, Welcome to join us! #helloespoo

Youth Film Club

Join the Malmitalo Youth Film Club! The course is aimed at young people aged 15–18 who are interested in films. At the Film Club meetings, we watch films chosen by the young people themselves and discuss them together. In the discussions, we deepen our connection with the film that we watched together by talking about its subjects and themes, and the emotions that it evokes. At the same time, the discussion can foster understanding of the techniques of audiovisual storytelling, filmmaking, and potentially even film history. The aim of the club is to learn together through laid-back and inquisitive discussion, rather than through lecture-style studying. The Film Club meets four times, and three feature-length films are selected for the programme based on the young people’s wishes. The club meets for the first time on Saturday 10 October. During the first meeting, the members get to know one another and agree on the autumn programme. This is followed by three club meetings devoted to watching films and discussing them, on Saturdays 24 October, 31 October and 7 November. The open film screening and club discussion are held during each course meeting from 15.00 to 18.00. The course is instructed by Aatos Ketvel, who holds a master’s degree in film studies. Meetings: Saturday 10 October at 16.00–18.00, Filipus, 2nd floor Saturday 24 October at 15.00–18.00, Kino Helios Saturday 7 November at 15.00–18.00, Kino Helios Saturday 14 November at 14.00–17.00, Kino Helios / Please note: the meeting starts one hour earlier Free of charge, sign up here.
