The Finnish Film Foundation
 
The Finnish Film Foundation's task is to support and develop Finnish film production, distribution and exhibition.
The Finnish Film Foundation is an independent foundation which is supervised by the Department for Cultural Policy in the Ministry of Education. The Finnish Film Foundation grants film production support, exhibition and distribution support and support for international activities. On the grounds of a contract made with the Ministry of Education, the Foundation grants support for international film festivals held in Finland which also have national significance.
The Finnish Film Foundation is also involved in the digitalisation process, with the project “Network of digital cinemas”, thanks to which 15% of the Finnish cinema screens will be digitised by the end of 2009. The final goal is the entire digitalisation of the Finnish cinema chain.
