The idea behind this international event, originally from France, is that anyone can organise their own short film screening using their own devices, wherever they like \u2013 for example in schools, kindergartens, libraries or on their own sofa \u2013 and Short Film Day provides the films free of charge!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, five film packages are available. As usual, there are dedicated packages for children and young people, and the youth package also includes free learning materials (in Finnish) that can be used, for example, in lower secondary or upper secondary school lessons. In addition, for the third time, there is an Open Screen package, for which an open call was held in October 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The following film packages will be available this year:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lyhytelokuvapaiva.fi\/jarjesta\/pop-up-paketit\/ses-paketti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finnish Film Foundation: Lyhyesti sateenkaaren alla | Briefly Under the Rainbow<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lyhytelokuvapaiva.fi\/jarjesta\/pop-up-paketit\/hiff-paketti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love &amp; Anarchy \u2013 Helsinki International Film Festival: L\u00e4hekk\u00e4in | Side by Side<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lyhytelokuvapaiva.fi\/jarjesta\/pop-up-paketit\/oklnef-paketti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oulu International Children\u2019s and Youth Film Festival: Lyhytelokuvia lapsille | Short Films for Children<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lyhytelokuvapaiva.fi\/jarjesta\/pop-up-paketit\/ihmefilmi-paketti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IhmeFilmi ry: T\u00e4\u00e4 tuntuu joltain | This Feels Like Something (+ learning material)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lyhytelokuvapaiva.fi\/jarjesta\/pop-up-paketit\/open-screen-paketti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short Film Day presents: Avoimen Open Screen -kategorian parhaat | The Best of the Open Screen Category<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lyhytelokuvapaiva.fi\/in-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registration for organising a pop-up event<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is open until <\/span><b>20 December 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
