Havumetsän lapset [Once Upon a Time in a Forest] (2024)
Director: Virpi Suutari
93 minutes
Finnish, English; Turkish and English subtitles
Together with those of Sweden, Finland’s coniferous forests function as vital ecological “lungs” for Europe, yet nearly ninety percent are under threat from industrial logging.
Havumetsän lapset [Once Upon a Time in a Forest] focuses on a group of young environmental activists who challenge the political and economic systems that frame forests primarily as resources for extraction. The film follows Ida, Minka, Otto, and their peers as they move from institutional consultation processes to direct action against diverse forestry interests, documenting a struggle whose outcome—ecological survival or irreversible loss—rests increasingly on youthful resolve.
Following the Walk-in Cinema screening on Thursday, February 26 at 19.00, the film will be streamed at saltonline.org between March 1–8. Online access is limited to audiences in Turkey.
