About the festival

Helsinki Education Film Festival International (also known as HEFFI) is a platform for filmmakers and educators established for the purpose of improving education and learning experience through films.

HEFFI's objective is to provide a channel for educators and filmmakers in Finland and around the world to show, share, exchange ideas and methods, including non-traditional ways that will open greater opportunities for collaboration for further development of education.

The Finnish educational system is considered among the best, if not the top, in the world. Thanks to the government, this prestige is due to its progressive commitment to excellence in improving the quality of education offered in academic institutions in the country.

Finland is in constant search for new ways how to adopt to the ever-changing need and circumstances of our generation. If a method is proven by research, Finnish schools will soon implement it.

According to a latest survey conducted by a leading video production company in the US, majority of educators around the world recognise and believe the importance and advantage of videos in learning experience. The Millenials which make up the biggest generational group in the US have grown attached to media technology.

The role of videos in our generation's learning is remarkably undeniable. Different online digital platforms are amassing followers by the millions, both youth and adults. Videos and films are the latest, most commonly used, and most engaging medium of information in our time.

HEFFI is specifically designed for this purpose - to educate the new generation through films.
