What Have We Learned About Running a Festival Since 1970?

One or two things we have learned about running a short film festival since 1970. A talk on what Tampere Film Festival is and how we serve our audiences in these times of change.

Jukka-Pekka Laakso is festival director of Tampere Film Festival since 2002.  As a festival director he shares the responsibility to strategic planning and programming with a co-director. He has been a member of more than 70 juries in various film festivals. Jukka also acts as the executive director for  Pirkanmaa Film Centre  in Tampere. The film centre is a non-profit organisation that runs an art-house cinema, distributes films in Finland  and works extensively with media education.
