The place changes

Espoo Cine's European focus distinguishes it from broader international festivals, with past editions running dedicated thematic spotlights on French and Latin American cinema, and its Melies d'Argent award, given for best European fantasy film since 1999 as part of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation, gives it a specific competitive niche within genre cinema alongside its general European art-house programming, a combination that broadens its appeal beyond a purely festival-circuit crowd
