🎥To keep healthy and sane, we are launching a series of WATCH PARTY online on South Social Film Festival: SOCIAL MINLING!

Our favourite filmmakers will show a short film and will be online for a quick Q&A after the film.

Every Wednesday at 7pm, get your microdose of film!

Tune in! Mingle & have fun!

South Social Film Festival’s ethos is community-centric and has always been front and center of our story. As a grassroots organization, we’re doing our part in protecting the community during the Coronavirus COVID 19 pandemic by practicing social distancing and postponing our next event about FINLAND, scheduled for the 1st May, 2020, to a later date.

We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated. Behind the scenes, SSFF team is working for the love of film and looking forward to seeing you after the intermission. 

Stay safe and let’s get through this together!

Fall in love with Finland! Travel to the Nordic country and mingle with polar bears in Lapland.

On the 1st of May at the Cinema Museum we screen AURORA.
Aurora, a commitment-phobic party animal, meets Iranian Darian one night at a hot-dog stand in Lapland. Darian is running from death and Aurora is running from love. They need each other in order to finally stop running.

9 times awarded director, MIIA TERVO, addresses some big themes such as asylum seeking and female alcoholism. While the main lead, MIMOSA WILLAMO, captures the restless feelings coming from a remote place with a lack of opportunity.

As usual we will have a dance performance with workshop by a brilliant Finnish contemporary dancer.

The 1st of May is called VAPPU in Finland, a traditional holiday where family and friends reunite to celebrate with special food. You’ll get to sample some of the most delicious Finnish cuisine!

South Social Film Festival’s awesome partners for this special edition are the The Finnish Institute and the Embassy of Finland in London.

Yukiko Masui mesmerised the audience with her acrobatic dance and especially with her hands/head workshop. 💃
