A Finnish movie screening night was held in Beijing on Tuesday to foster collaboration and exchange between professionals in the Chinese and Finnish film sectors.

The spotlight of the event was on Death is a Problem for the Living, a compelling new Finnish film that delves into the complexities of addiction, friendship, and the unexpected journey of carrying the departed to their final resting place.

Death is a Problem for the Living has been nominated for the Tiantan Award for Best Picture at the 14th Beijing International Film Festival.

Soile Kauranen, deputy head of mission at the Finnish embassy in Beijing, said: "Finland and China share a deep appreciation for cinema, and it is heartening to witness the growing collaboration between our two countries in the film industry."

"Last year, the wonderful Chinese feature film Lost in the Stars was screened in cinemas around Finland, and the Chinese drama series Amidst a Snowstorm of Love was filmed in the Finnish capital city of Helsinki. Tonight's film Death Is a Problem for the Living stands as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of Finnish filmmakers. With its unique narrative and compelling characters, it not only captivates audiences but also sparks important conversations about the human experience," she said.

The movie night was co-organized by the Finnish embassy in Beijing, production company As One Pictures Co Ltd, and BD Technology and Culture (Beijing) Co Ltd.
