Elokuvan kautta Taiwan ja Suomi kohtaavat! 透過電影，臺灣與芬蘭相遇🇹🇼🇫🇮

【環海的眼睛 Eyes Across Seas｜臺灣芬蘭短片影展】

誠摯推薦「環海的眼睛 Eyes Across Seas」臺灣芬蘭短片影展，將於 9月11日至12日 在赫爾辛基 Kino K13 舉行。臺灣與芬蘭同樣與海洋緊密相連，卻有著不同的歷史、文化與生活經驗。本次影展透過來自臺灣與芬蘭的短片作品，探索遷徙與離家、家庭與記憶、原住民族與身份、信仰與生死，以及關係與衝突等主題。

🎥 Eyes Across Seas: Taiwan–Finland Short Film Festival will take place on 11–12 September 2026 at Kino K13 in Helsinki. Although Taiwan and Finland are both closely connected to the sea, we are shaped by very different histories, cultures and landscapes. Bringing together short films from Taiwan and Finland, the festival explores themes including migration, family and memory, Indigenous identity, faith and death, as well as human relationships and conflict—creating a space for stories and perspectives from across the seas to meet.

🎟️ Free admission | No reservation required
