Short film has a strong following in Finland and although regularly part of film festival fare, the most prominent short film program and awards takes place at the Tampere Film Festival(Linkki toiselle web-sivustolle.) every March.

This Nordic Nights screening aims to provide a snapshot of the short film scene in Finland.
