I moved to Helsinki from Petrozavodsk, Karelia, to study law there and, of course, to experience life in a new setting! There I will share my thoughts and photos of daily life in Helsinki and Finland as a whole.

BEFF 2015

The fifth international non-profit festival BEFF has shown the magic of ecology films in Petrozavodsk, 14-17 May, 2015. Each day of the festival was bringing new discoveries and new knowledge, raising environmental awareness and will to explore new forms of art. The contest programme included 35 films from 8 countries - Norway, Germany, Sweden, France, Finland, the United Kingdom, Kazakhstan, Russia. It was the first time when Russian films were represented at such a large scale that it could successfully compete with foreign works.

Documentaries, animations, live-action films, dramas, thrillers, melodramas...Every guest of BEFF could find his own approach to exploring the problems of environment, choose his own point of view, develop his film taste and just enjoy the great time spent together with like-minded people. It was interesting to see how films focusing on people relations also reflect their communication with nature through their worldviews and beliefs. BEFF is not only about films shows - it is a great platform for open dialogue and communication, uniting producers, cameramen together with people who watch the results of their long work for the first time. BEFF is not only about competition, it is about mutual cooperation and art development in friendly atmosphere.

And what can be even more surprising for many people is that BEFF is not only about films - it is about environmental art in its broader sense. BEFF participants were learning to draw comic strips from scratch, actively participating in workshops to make Karelian souvenirs, tasted Ecocuisine, planted new trees, cleaned the streets. Their enthusiasm and creativity itself can become the focus of the new environmental film!
