The Academy of Moving People & Images is pleased to invite you to the premiere of its most anticipated event of the year. AMPI’s third graduate screening takes place on Monday, November 21st, 2022, at 17:00 in Bio Rex.

At AMPI’s Third Graduate Screening, we will screen a collection of short films from the seven emerging filmmakers trained in the two-year program of the Academy of Moving People & Images. As well as the result of the 16mm analog film workshops organized by the Academy of Moving People & Images and Filmverkstaden. 

Academy of Moving People and Images (AMPI) is a platform founded in Helsinki for mobile/moving people – those who have arrived in Finland for different reasons; be they displaced people, forced immigrants, students, asylum seekers, employees, or those who immigrated for love. 

We aim to design a new learning model and a sustainable pedagogical platform where people who have arrived in Finland from different backgrounds get to co-work/learn together. We dream to contribute and initiate change to rebuild a discrimination-free film industry. One of the main goals is to give possibilities, tools, and skills of filmmaking to mobile people. Through the constant exchange of knowledge and experience between indigenous, native, and mobile filmmakers in Finland and the new participants in the field, we hope to see a film industry that is more open and diverse.
