Thank you to all of you Rokumentti people!

Rokumentti Rock Film Festival 2023 is now over. These five days have been full of movies, guests and great audience. Thank you all!

In our opening and closing film speech, we made a challenge for the audience as well as for ourselves. We challenged all of us to walk with an open mind, be curious and occasionally break down our protective walls towards other people. A smile, couple of nice words or a bigger help to a stranger can make wonders. May the positive resistance continue!

A huge thank you to all of you who participated, contributed, enabled and/or visited the festival. Even if Rokumentti ends from this year, it is certain that next November we will meet again!

Theme and first films for Rokumentti announced!

The theme of Rokumentti is Resistance. 

Open resistance is a rebellion against the control. There is also another kind of resistance: silent, everyday resistance. Contradicting the rules or systems of those who govern and not submitting to existing norms. Resistance can start small and can swell into a force that changes the world. Attitude, integrity, seeing things in a new light and courage describe those who make changes happen.

Rokumentti explores individuals and attitudes that, through silent or open resistance, have changed the world.

**

The first to be released from the film programme are All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, which tells about the life and activism of artist Nan Goldin, Between Revolutions, which depicts the friendship of women caught in the midst of revolutions, While We Watched, which explores the state of journalism, and The Mushroom Speaks, which depicts the rebellious world of mushrooms. 

The programme also includes Little Richard – I Am Everything, FCK 2020 – Two and a Half Years with Scooter and Play with the Devil – Becoming Zeal & Ardor.

The rest of the Rokumentti programme will be published in October. Like before, we’ll screen the best music films and a bunch of the most expected festival spectacles of the year. 

Rokumentti Rock Film Festival will be held in Joensuu 15.-19.11.2023.
