Sneak peek of the line up is out now!

Around twenty movie from the 2024 lineup are out! This year’s program includes stars from across the spectrum, like metal's oddball Voïvod, pop icons Cyndi Lauper and Alma Miettinen, jazz pianist Erroll Garner, singer-songwriters Paul Simon and Amy Winehouse – and many more.

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.

Full line up will be announced in October, single tickets and ticket books going on sale Monday, October 28th, via Savon Kinot online store and Tapio Cinema. Rokumentti Rock Film Festival starts on Wednesday, November 13th.

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!
