The 37th Helsinki International Film Festival – Love & Anarchy will be organised on September 19th to 29th 2024. Before that, a selection of the year’s best movies can be seen at the R&A Spring Break festival.
The Helsinki International Film Festival – Love & Anarchy has announced its programme. The Cannes Grand Prix-winning concentration camp drama THE ZONE OF INTEREST is presented as the Masters Gala film. The freshest film smorgasbord in the country also has Pedro Almodóvar’s new shorts as well as heaps of winners and audience favourites from the world’s major film festivals. Filmmaker guests of the festival include the director Catherine Corsini and the documentarist Lea Glob. The 36th edition of HIFF takes place on September 14–24, 2023.
HIFF adds another gala to its roster. THE ZONE OF INTEREST that caused quite a stir and won the Grand Prix at Cannes is screened at the new Masters Gala. As previously announced, the festival’s other gala films are the Opening Film MONSTER (dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda), the Love & Anarchy Gala film POOR THINGS (dir. Yorgos Lanthimos), the Human Rights Gala film JE’VIDA (dir. Katja Gauriloff), the Finnish Gala film DEATH IS A PROBLEM FOR THE LIVING (dir. Teemu Nikki), and the Closing Film PAST LIVES (dir.

The Zone of Interest by the British director Jonathan Glazer (e.g. Under the Skin, Season FF 2015) provides a scathing portrayal of everyday evil and fascism via the family life of Rudolf Höss, the commander of the Auschwitz concentration camp. The German star Sandra Hüller (Toni Erdmann, 2016) gives a striking performance as the family matriarch. Based on a novel by Martin Amis who passed away in May, The Zone of Interest is brought to cinemas by SF Studios early 2024.
The R&A Shorts programme is complemented by two newest short-form works by Pedro Almodóvar. Seen in Cannes this year, STRANGE WAY OF LIFE featuring Hollywood stars Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal as gunslingers and former lovers is a queer western that bears the unmistakable touch of its director.

Cinematic manna rains from film heaven with 141 feature films. The most coveted new outings include SHOWING UP by the U.S. indie maven Kelly Reichardt, the Senegalese-French director Ramata-Toulaye Sy’s BANEL & ADAMA which was the only debut effort in this year’s Cannes competition and the Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s ABOUT DRY GRASSES that earned Merve Dizdar the Best Actress Award at Cannes.

- Darkness Matters: Light pollution can hinder visibility, so seek out dark, isolated spots like national parks. A short distance from urban areas can greatly improve your viewing experience.

In a dramatic last 10 minutes of the game, where Sweden was able to equalize 1-1 but Spain scored the definitive goal one minute later, the Scandinavian team could not reach the final.
This is the first time for Spain to play a women’s World Cup soccer final in their whole history (men team achieved the victory once in South Africa World Cup).
2023 is a year that has given again outstanding performances in this “golden” age that we are lucky to experience nowadays: The victories of Van der Poel in Milan-San Remo or Paris Roubaix, Evenepoel‘s exhibitions in Liege-Bastogne-Liege or San Sebastian Classic, Pogacar epic win in Tour de Flandes and his epic battles with Vingegaard in Tour de France, Roglic winning in the last time trial the Giro de Italia against the combative old lion Geraint Thomas… and on and on.
But oh, what we were able to see in Glasgow a few days ago was, maybe, the best classic one single race of the year 2023 and one that will be in the memory of cycling fans for years to come (I only remember enjoying a World Championship so much many years ago, the WC in Colombia, with Olano, Indurain and Pantani in the podium after a grueling and super exciting mountain course).
We leave you here the video if you want to watch again this historical event, and we give you some of the analysis of the race:
- The course
It was criticized by many fans and riders alike, but in the end you have to give to the organization that the course track was perfect for entertaining. With no long climbing, but with explosive obstacles disseminated in a very technical circuit with a lot of turns left and right, this race looked almost like a cyclocross race on asphalt. Positioning was the key if riders wanted to have a chance to win in the end, cause recovering positions was really really complicated. - The riders’ attitude
It is an old saying in professional cycling that the hard a day race is depends more on the riders than on the course itself. Here in Glasgow we saw fireworks from the favorites from… 150 kms to the finish line! Alaphilippe attacking, strong teams like Denmark or Italy trying to break hostilities from the first laps in the circuit, attacks from big names like Van der Poel, Evenepoel, Pogacar, Pedersen with 100 kilometers to go… it was a marvellous madness of a race in an age where so many times spectator has to wait to the last kilometers to see some action happening. - Italy is always there
They might not have always the strongest riders, although Trentin (sadly out cause of a crash) or Bettiol were serious contenders, but you cannot deny their compromise and their attitude as a team. They attacked when needed to attack, they worked great as a formation and Bettiol’s sneaky attack was just one lap away from giving him the victory.
The same cannot be said of other teams like Spain, pretty much disappeared without options most of the race, or even the great favourites, Belgium itself, where the team seemed fractured most of the race between defending the interests of Wout van Aert and Evenepoel trying to win his second WC in a row.
4. The big names do not disappoint
Van der Poel: He has shown in 2023 that he is probably the strongers classic races rider in the world nowadays. He has learnt how not to waste too much energy through the race and improved tactically to the point that the spots where he launches the final attacks are perfect. And of course, all that backed up with the incredible explosive power that his legs are able to carry. He was the strongest rider of the day, and not even a crash in the final kilometers could deprive him of a well deserved victory
Pogacar: If you like professional cycling, you have to like Tadej Pogacar. A man not afraid to compete and give everything both in 3 weeks races or in the most demanding classics of the year. To his disadvantage, he had to spend too much energy reacting to attacks way too far from the finish line, and in the last 2 laps he recognized that he was already suffering. But in any case, it is always a big show to see him race and attack. He does not leave anything left in his tank, and the bronze medal is a more than fair reward to his attitude and talent.
Wout van Aert: Again another silver medal for his collection. And again the feeling for many fans that, even when Van Aert is one of the biggest cycling talents arousing in the last years, he is wasting too many good chances to achieve more remarkable victories year after year. In Paris Roubais was an unfortunate puncture at the end of the last pave section. Today he just lacked the legs to follow Van der Poel in his decisive attack. For many other riders, a silver would be a fantastic result, but for Van Aert, the bittersweet feeling of another great chance missed is there. We hope that some day we can see him wearing the rainbow jersey. His talent deserves it.
Evenepoel: it is true that with such a technical track, Evenepoel did not have it easy to repeat victory in Glasgow. But from the favorites, his performance was certainly the most surprising. He got himself cut several times from the lead bunch due to bad positioning, then when it seemed like he did not have the legs, he performed a couple of strong attacks, and then again he got cut and gave up on pursuing… For much that he is one of the most talented riders out there, explosive, maybe the best time-trial specialist in the world, and a pleasure to see him attacking faraway, he should improve still a lot on his mental focus if he wants to be a consistent winners against the strongest opponents out there.

Hidden gems for ps4: Blacksad
Rahapelit, monimutkainen ja jännittävä osa ihmiskunnan kulttuurista perintöä, ovat olleet olemassa jo tuhansia vuosia. Nykyajan rahapelien muodot, kuten perinteiset kasinot ja suomalaiset nettikasinot ilman rekisteröitymistä, jatkavat tätä pitkää perinnettä tuoden mukanaan uusia haasteita ja mahdollisuuksia. Tämä ajanviettomuoto on kuitenkin aina aiheuttanut syvällisiä eettisiä haasteita. Ne ulottuvat yksilöllisistä moraalisista kysymyksistä aina laajempiin yhteiskunnallisiin implikaatioihin.
Vaikka rahapelit tarjoavat viihdettä ja taloudellista hyötyä, ne voivat myös johtaa riippuvuuteen, sosiaaliseen syrjäytymiseen ja taloudellisiin ongelmiin. Lisäksi nopea teknologinen kehitys, kuten nettikasinoiden yleistyminen, asettaa uusia kysymyksiä pelialan eettisyydestä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan keskeisiä kysymyksiä ja vastauksia, jotka liittyvät rahapelien eettisiin näkökulmiin.
Onko rahapelaaminen eettisesti hyväksyttävää?
Rahapelaamisen eettinen hyväksyttävyys on subjektiivinen kysymys, johon ei ole yksiselitteistä vastausta. Jotkut pitävät rahapelejä harmittomana ajanviettona, sosiaalisena kokemuksena, joka tarjoaa jännitystä ja mahdollisuuden taloudelliseen voittoon. Toisaalta, on niitä, jotka näkevät rahapelaamisen potentiaalisena riippuvuuden aiheuttajana, joka voi johtaa taloudellisiin ja sosiaalisiin ongelmiin, kuten perheiden hajoamiseen ja työpaikan menettämiseen. Eettisestä näkökulmasta on tärkeää, että rahapelaaminen toteutetaan vastuullisesti. Vastuullinen pelaaminen merkitsee itsekontrollia, pelibudjetin hallintaa ja pelitaukojen pitämistä tarpeen mukaan.
Miten rahapelien operaattorit voivat toimia eettisesti?
Rahapelioperaattorit ovat avainasemassa rahapelaamisen eettisten kysymysten ratkaisemisessa. Heidän tulee noudattaa alaa koskevia lakeja ja säädöksiä, mutta myös mennä niitä pidemmälle ja ottaa käyttöön käytänteitä, jotka edistävät vastuullista pelaamista. Tällaisia käytänteitä voivat olla pelaajille suunnatut tiedotuskampanjat vastuullisen pelaamisen merkityksestä, tehokkaat mekanismit pelaamisen rajoittamiseksi tarvittaessa, ja tuki rahapeliongelmaisten hoidolle ja kuntoutukselle. Tämän lisäksi eettisesti toimivat operaattorit huolehtivat siitä, että heidän toimintansa on avointa ja läpinäkyvää.
Rahapelaamisen sääntely Suomessa
Suomen rahapelilainsäädäntö ja -sääntely poikkeavat monista muista maista. Suomessa rahapelitoiminta on valtion monopoli, jota hallinnoi Veikkaus Oy. Tämä malli on kehitetty takaamaan, että pelitoiminta tapahtuu vastuullisesti ja sen tuotot ohjataan takaisin yhteiskuntaan, tukemaan esimerkiksi urheilua, taidetta ja tiedettä.
Suomessa asuvat henkilöt voivat vapaasti osallistua Veikkauksen tarjoamiin peleihin, mukaan lukien lotto, urheiluvedonlyönti, rahapeliautomaatit ja kasinopelit. Veikkauksen palvelut ovat saatavilla sekä fyysisissä toimipisteissä että Veikkauksen verkkosivuilla. Suomalaiset voivat myös pelata ulkomaisilla nettikasinoilla, mutta ne toimivat maassamme harmaalla alueella, koska ne eivät ole Veikkauksen valvonnassa.
Sääntelyn näkökulmasta nettikasinot ovat haastavia, sillä ne eivät teknisesti sijaitse Suomessa, ja niiden toimintaa on siksi vaikea valvoa. Suomen rahapelisääntely on saanut kritiikkiä niin kotimaasta kuin ulkomailtakin. Kritiikki kohdistuu usein monopoliasemaan ja sen aiheuttamiin haasteisiin, kuten pelihaittojen ehkäisemiseen ja ulkomaisten nettikasinoiden toimintaan. Monet toivovatkin sääntelyn uudistamista vastaamaan paremmin nykyajan haasteita.
Minkälaisia eettisiä haasteita rahapelien sääntely tuo?
Rahapelien sääntely on monitahoinen haaste, joka tuo mukanaan monia eettisiä kysymyksiä. Sääntelyn tavoitteena on tasapainottaa monia eri tekijöitä, kuten taloudelliset edut, pelaajien suojelu ja yhteiskunnallinen hyvä. Tämä tasapainoilu tuo mukanaan eettisiä kysymyksiä. Esimerkiksi, kuinka paljon rajoituksia tulisi asettaa rahapelaamiselle turvallisuuden nimissä? Missä määrin yksilön vapautta tulisi kunnioittaa? Sääntelyn tulisi kunnioittaa pelaajien oikeuksia ja samalla suojella heitä mahdollisilta haitoilta.
Lopuksi
Rahapelien etiikka on monitahoinen kysymys, joka vaatii huomioita eri sidosryhmiltä – pelaajilta, operaattoreilta, lainsäätäjiltä ja yleisöltä. On tärkeää, että nämä ryhmät jatkavat eettisten kysymysten tarkastelua ja pyrkivät löytämään tasapainon eri etujen välillä. Yksi asia on kuitenkin varma: rahapelien tulisi tuottaa enemmän iloa ja hyötyä kuin haittaa. Vain silloin voimme sanoa, että rahapelit ovat sekä yksilön että yhteiskunnan kannalta hyväksyttäviä.
