Outdoor movies in English

Have you been to the Kesäkino Engel already this year? As mentioned here before it is probably the nicest movie experience you can get in Helsinki in the summer.

But you always have to check in which language the movies are shown there. But luckily for all us English speaking Helsinkians there are still a lot of good movies in English language to come such as:

until Aug 14, 22.30   Red Obession

Aug 21, 22.00 Pixadores (Portuguese with English subtitles)

Aug 24 - 28, 22.00  Magic in the Moonlight

Aug 29 - 31, 22.00  Take this Waltz

Also stay updated on the program of the Love & Anarchy Film Festival Helsinki being held from Sep 18 - 28. The program will be announced shortly and some of the movies are shown at Kesäkino Engel as well.

Movies in the yard

The weather is excellent. Time to spend your whole day outside. Movie theaters are something for rainy days, right?

Or you just combine those two and add a good glass of wine and maybe some delicious pastry. Then you get Kesäkino Engel. During the summer till late August Cafe Engel and Kino Engel turn their small yard into a summer cinema, combining the best those two places have to offer. Get your drink together with a small snack from the cafe and get comfortable in one of the chairs outside. Should it get to chilly then just grab one of the blankets.

The movies, like in Kino Engel, are rather alternative and mainly from Europe. If you don't speak Finnish then be sure to choose one where a language you understand is spoken. You can find their program and more information on the movies on their website.
