Espoo Ciné organises Crip Ciné festival April 12-16
The new Crip Ciné festival will take place in Espoo and Helsinki from 12 to 16 April, 2025!
Launched in 2021, the Crip Ciné thematic programme expands into a new film event in its fifth year.
This year’s Crip Ciné programme features documentaries, fiction films, and works by disabled filmmakers that challenge stereotypes about disability. The films of the first Crip Ciné festival celebrate disabled artists while also igniting the fight for human rights. Horror film enthusiasts can also look forward to special highlights.
The programme also questions the pressure to be ‘normal.’ This theme is explored both in Aaron Schimberg’s dark dramedy A Different Man (2024) and in The Stimming Pool (2024), a fresh and cinematically surprising film by the British Neurocultures collective, composed of artists on the neurodivergent spectrum.
The five-day festival will take place on 12–16 April, at Kino Tapiola in Espoo and at Kino Regina and Maijansali in Helsinki’s Oodi Central Library. Tickets for screenings at Kino Tapiola are 12€, while screenings at Oodi are free of charge.
