CANNES, France, May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- During the 2011 edition of the Cannes Film Festival and Marche du Film at a karaoke bar "alternative dinner party," Petra Theman, CEO of FAVEX, i.e. Finnish Film & Audiovisual Export, is launching Filmland.fi (http://www.filmland.fi):

"The Finnish audiovisual industry is blooming and new creative talent has given us everything from angry birds to space Nazis, rare Santa Clauses for export and lots of stories and characters in between. Also filming in Finland is easy and hassle free. Now Filmland.fi is bringing you all the info you need to be up-to-date, in just few clicks. It's easy, like looking for a hotel or flight on the web."

Filmland.fi is a new window to the Finnish film and TV industry, which contains and updates details of Finnish productions, talent and filming locations, as well as improves awareness of Finnish film/TV industry facts.

Filmland.fi has the tremendous advantage to be an open network and managed by a non-profit organization. Every Finnish company/talent can add information, references and video teasers/trailers, so it really reflects the whole scene and has a web soul. It is not a listing of a few pre-approved companies.

The foreign film industry will be able to access all the info they need about the Finnish Film industry in one place: www.Filmland.fi.

Filmland.fi is a project between FAVEX, Finnanimation, Satu association of independent producers of Finland, SEK -The Central Organization of Finnish Film Producers, and Finnish film commissions (Northern Finland Film Commission, Finnish Lapland Film Commission, East Finland Film Commission and West Finland Film Commission).

FAVEX - Finnish Film & Audiovisual Export is an association that facilitates promotion, marketing and sales of Finnish audiovisual content and services, be it in the spheres of television, film or publicity.
