Nordic Council prizes: Meet the nominees in Helsinki!
Take the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion with the nominees for the Nordic Council Film Prize on 31 October at Helsinki Central Library Oodi.

The programme consists of seminars, debates and discussions and starts on 30 October when the nominees for this year’s literature prize will be on stage at the Helsinki Book Fair.
