New ideas meet. 🎬 This year’s Screen Helsinki brought together Finnish film and TV professionals with keynotes, panels, and networking at BioRex Lasipalatsi. We were once again honored to help make this event possible and to present the Vuoden Screen -teko award. This year, the award went to NTRNZ Creative for their production Vaietut Arktiset Sodat.

Here are the jury’s remarks:

Vaietut arktiset sodat is a Finnish documentary series that has achieved exceptionally broad international distribution, sold to over 100 countries. The series unveils Arctic wartime events in an unprecedented way and stands out clearly from other productions dealing with World War II. It is an ambitious, international-level production that sparked wide global interest even before its release. NTRNZ Creative has boldly pushed its own vision and expertise, succeeding in today’s market by creating original non-fiction content that has attracted vast audiences both in Finland and abroad.

Congratulations to Máté Papp, this year’s winner of our annual €10,000 Equipment Prize for outstanding Cinematography at Tampere Film Festival! His work in Sherwan Haji’s "My Name is Hope" impressed the jury with its bold visual storytelling. The award was collected on his behalf by the film's producer Kari Ahotupa and director Sherwan Haji.

“In this film, the camera occasionally functions as a character. It takes the viewer deep into the protagonist’s horrifying world through small but effective choices, showing deep understanding of visuals. We applaud the bold cinematic choices.”
