The Finnish Documentary Guild brings together professionals working with or studying documentary film in Finland. Membership is a good way to hear about what is happening in the industry in Finland and to get to know fellow colleagues.
At the moment the Documentary Guild serves its members mainly in Finnish language, but non-Finnish speakers are also welcome to join the activities. The more non-Finnish speaking members we have, the more likely we are to expand our English language activities.
You can stay up to date through our email list, informing members about our activities and other news related to the documentary field. The Guild carries out Dokkariklubi screenings of new domestic documentary films as well as seminars and discussions on topical issues. The Guild also organizes festival and market trips abroad and brings foreign filmmakers to visit Finland. The association holds an annual meeting as well as a get-together in the spring and a traditional pre-Christmas party with a professional event at the end of the year.
As a member you are also making a difference in helping the documentary filmmakers’ voice be heard. The greater number the Finnish Documentary Guild has members, the more attention and importance it will gain in lobbying better resources for documentary filmmaking in Finland.
The association has several membership categories to choose from, with different membership fees:
Regular membership 40 € / year
Student membership 20 € / year
Support membership 40 € / year
In addition the Documentary Guild can elect honorary members who are exempt from fees. Paying the student membership fee requires current full time studies.
