Workshop and open discussion about film education as a part of the cultural services offered for the elderly and social integration for immigrants.
The workshop and discussion gathers representatives from different communities’ cultural, social welfare and health and immigration services together. The aim is to create a national film education project providing film club activities for the elderly and immigrants. We’ll be discussing what kinds of cooperation attaining this objective would require from film distributors, local communities and social care workers working with the target audiences.
The Midnight Sun Film Festival launched Kulttuuripalvelukonsepti Muisti (Cultural Education Project Memory) in 2025 with the support of the Finnish Cultural Foundation. It is a pilot project funding film clubs and sing-along screenings aimed at the elderly in assisted living facilities and immigrants’ social integration programs.
