DocPoint NYC Celebrates Finnish Documentaries
Event Type:  Festival
06/11/2011
New York City

As part of its 10th anniversary, the Helsinki-based DocPoint festival celebrates Finnish documentaries with DocPoint NYC--a program of 47 films hosted by its New York partners: The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Scandinavia House, 92YTribeca, UnionDocs and the Tribeca Film Institute. DocPoint is the largest documentary festival in the Nordic region, founded by Arto Halonen. The festival is headed by a different filmmaker each year to ensure a fresh programming outlook.

DocPoint NYC presents international festival hits from the past ten years. Other selections include lifetime awarded directors, student films, and films about and by children in the DOKKINO program. A dozen filmmakers and producers will present their films in person and be available for post-screening Q&As.
