Finland

Finland has seen their domestic projects garner international success like 2023's Fallen Leaves which filmed in the summer of 2022, and the previous year's action thriller Sisu.

Further recent shoots include TV series White Wall, a Sweden-Finland co-production that shot in northern Finland. Finnish filmmakers have also been taking a special interest in sustainable production, including Aku Louhimies’ carbon-netural shoot for The Wait.

Finland can accommodate about four to seven productions simultaneously. Leading local production service companies include Film Service Finland, Warner Finland, Helsinki-filmi, Fisher King, MRP Matila & Röhr, Grilli Films and Woodpecker.

Finland has a small but respected film industry. Experienced crews are available,as well as good production services and filming equipment. The country is yet to develop world-class studio facilities but international producers come to Finland primarily for its unique filming locations.

Locations range from Finland’s famous lakes (more than 187,000 of them) to Cold War looks or urban chic in parts of Helsinki, and the snowy climes of Lapland.
