The main venue of the film festival is the Cultural Venue Nuijamies, located in the centre of Lappeenranta. Since 2018, Nuijamies has developed Lappeenranta's event culture and urban culture in an unprecedented way. Nuijamies has gained a strong position and is perceived among people as a unifying and common place.

This protected building, built in 1954, served as a cinema until 2017.  The history, central location and services of Nuijamies make it the perfect venue for a film festival focused on sustainable development.

sustainability

Joutseno College promotes the diverse development of people, well-being, pluralism and multi-culturality, sustainable development and internationality. Sustainable development is one of the main themes of the colleges strategy, and the vision is to be a forerunner in eco-social civilisation. In colleges operations, all aspects of sustainable development are taken into account, whether ecological, social and economic sustainability. Such values as responsibility, moderateness, interpersonality and systemic relationship with the world are reflected in all college's activities.

Joutseno College makes its strategy visible by actions. Joutseno Art Summer International Film Festival is one of those concrete actions in line with the college's strategy to make sustainable development visible.

Sustainable development is of course taken into account in the arrengements of the film festival. Procurements are carefully considered in terms of reuse and recycling, and physical materials are minimized. That is why for example the festival programme leaflet is published only in electronic format. The arrangements are made in accordance with the guide for creating a sustainable event prepared by of Lappeenranta Event Services and Uus Kulttuuri ry. The main event venue is Nuijamies not only because of the history and the infrastructure, but also because the central location makes it easy to reach by  public transport. Nuijamies also shares the values of sustainable development in its operations.

The film festival is easily accessible event where everyone are welcome. We encourage people to participate to festival's events and encounter one another, and we are willing to cooperate with local organisations on different fields. Through different forms of art we can strenghten the sense of community and broaden our perspective into the world. We also want to enhance children's equal access to culture, and because of that we offer the children's event for kids and their families for free.
