Film & Online Panel Discussion

Scandinavia House, Finlandia Foundation’s Young Leaders Board and the Embassy of Finland in Washington, D.C. present a discussion on gender and equality within the Finnish film industry with directors, researchers, and industry professionals from both Finland and the United States.

The panel will reference the Finnish film Force of Habit (Tottumiskysymys) as a starting point for the discussion about how gender and equality play out in the film, as well as the Finnish and Nordic film industries more broadly. The 2019 film follows seven women who experience sexual harassment, judgement, underrating and exclusion throughout the course of one day.

Registration is required. View the film online Feb. 24-Mar. 2.
