The International Film Festival Helsinki – Love & Anarchy is the largest film festival in Finland, held every September since 1988 in different parts of Helsinki. The festival presents current films that would otherwise be impossible to see in Finland. The repertoire includes films by established and emerging directors and, this year, a large number of French films and French co-productions.
