International Film festival Greenland eyes comes to Finland on its Nordic tour in November.

The festival brings the colors, sounds and atmosphere of Greenland to Sajos on 20th-24th of November. The festival will showcase a range of shorts, animations, documentaries, music videos and unique feature length productions both from Greenlandic and foreign film directors.

Greenland eyes is the biggest festival focusing on Greenland. It features films across all genres each film selected to add an individual insight into today’s Greenland.

The festival is organized for the second time. The inaugural festival took place in Berlin in 2012 and this year the number of submitted films was so great, and the interest so overwhelming, that the 2014 festival is touring all the Nordic countries. Beginning in Greenland on August the 28th the festival then travels to Denmark, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Sweden and Finland, before finishing in Norway on December the 18th.

The screenings takes place in the auditorium of Sámi Cultural Center Sajos. All the films have subtitles in English.
