East Finland Film Commission

East Finland's first taste of filmmaking was a dish of gourmet calibre. In 1965, David Lean's Academy Award winning film, Dr. Zhivago was shot in four regions of East Finland. Throughout the years the natural beauty of the region and the rich culture of the people have served as an inspiration for filmmakers.

Recent developments in technology and infrastructure have sparked a renaissance within the local film industry. Two of the most recent films shot in East Finland, Pigs and Pearls and The Dog Nail Clipper have garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success.

Visiting producers will enjoy the advantages of East Finland's long summer days, vast forests and seemingly infinite lake settings as well the consistent winter environment, including the most snowfall in the entire country. With long periods of frosty weather beginning in late October and growing until the end of March, 70-80 cm of clean white snow blanket the region.

The East Finland Film Commission promotes the unblemished beauty of the region and coordinates the local infrastructure for visiting productions. We are a One-Stop support system that will lend guidance and resources to each phase of your production.
