Dokfest University Portrayal 2015: Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences / 27.08.2015

A sustainable part of the festival program is the screening series “University Portrayal” which was established in 1989 and annually presents a national or international European film-, media- or art school/university.

We are very happy to announce that this year’s University Portrayal will be about Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.

The program will be about 90 minutes long (with 9 film screenings) and introduced by representatives of the school. A discussion with or questions from the audience will follow the presentation.

The aim of the presentation is to promote the films and videos that are produced at the school as well as to provide a look at the training students receive there.
