Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Finland’s largest music film festival's program is now complete. Movie lineup includes some of this year's most captivating music documentaries, ranging from Blur to The Darkness, Placebo to Mogwai, and even a deep dive into the origins of German thrash metal with Electronic Body Movie, which explores the roots of club music.
In addition to these music documentaries, Rokumentti’s program will showcase gripping true stories like Sugarcane, which sheds light on the systemic oppression of Canada's Indigenous peoples, and Balomania, a real-life action film about passionate hot air balloon artists.
The festival kicks off on Wednesday, November 13, with a screening of the already-released No Other Land, a timely film about Israelis, Palestinians, and the friendships that transcend borders. The closing film will be the documentary Blur: To the End, about the legendary British rock band, showing on Sunday, November 17, right before a concert screening of Blur: Live at Wembley Stadium.
In honor of Rokumentti’s 20th anniversary, Joensuu’s main library will host a free triple-feature of music documentaries on Wednesday, November 13. The non-stop screenings will include HC Andersen, Naamioitu kapina, and Ulapalla. The screenings are free and open to the public. Along with a stellar movie lineup, Rokumentti offers a wealth of side events.

Beyond music films, Rokumentti dives into contemporary issues and phenomenas with its themed program Explosive. Lineup includes films like the No Other Land, Godfrey Reggio’s mind-bending vision Once Within a Time, and A24’s acclaimed dystopian thriller Civil War.
The Rokumentti program once again promises a signature mix of mainstream and underground music, along with sharp and moving stories from both home and abroad, and plenty of nostalgic gems. Where else can you sing along to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, tear up over the stories of pets caught in the Ukrainian war, or vibe to the ultimate ‘70s detective flick, Shaft? Only in Rokumentti! In addition to the films, Rokumentti will also offer exciting side events both at the Tapio Cinema and around downtown Joensuu.

Explosive!
Finland's largest music film festival Rokumentti celebrates its 20th anniversary in November!
This autumn, Rokumentti's theme is called Explosive. The world is a powder keg. All topics seem flammable to indignant hands. Social media explodes, and people rage at each other. Fortunately joy can also be also explosive.
Rokumentti explores explosive topics and blows up prejudices and society's narrow norms into atoms.
In addition to themed films, festival´s programme will feature a large number of films dealing with music, popular culture and society.
Rokumentti will be held in Joensuu from Wednesday to Sunday 13–17 November 2024. Ticket sales for the festival will begin on Monday, October 28, 2024.
Welcome to blow away the November darkness with us!
