Blue Sea Film Festival
August 21–24, 2025
Rauma, Finland

A new festival year brings a fresh new look and a focus on Lithuanian cinema!

In 2025, Bluukkarit invites you to dive deep into the world of film – and maybe even go a little over the moon. The festival’s new visual identity, designed by Rauma-based graphic designer Kari Riikilä, features our beloved Moby Frank blue whale, the deep blue of the Blue Sea, and a touch of yellow to honor Rauma’s spirit.

This year’s festival will showcase a unique selection of Lithuanian films – a cinematic culture rarely seen in Finland! In addition to Lithuanian films, the program will once again feature a diverse array of Finnish and Baltic Sea region films.

And of course, the legendary festival night events will take the celebration to the next level! The Grand Opening Party on Friday and the Katkitaiteellinen ehtoo on Saturday will fill the nights with music, performances, and an atmosphere where film lovers, creators, and festival guests come together to celebrate under an open sky that knows no limits.

What to expect?
– Finnish and international films
– Festival atmosphere and discussions with filmmakers in the heart of Old Rauma, amidst a stunning UNESCO World Heritage site
– Cross-artistic surprises and experiences late into the night Mark your calendars, follow us, and get ready to immerse yourself in the magic of cinema!

The full program will be announced in late spring!

Welcome to Bluukkarit!
