The Forssa Silent Film Festival began screening silent film at the turn of the century in one of the oldest theaters in Scandinavia, the Ellavien Kuvien Teatter, built in 1906, which presently screens first run world cinema. During 2025, its twenty fifth year, alongside film then currently nominated for international recognition, it screened the film "Myrskyluodon Kalastaja" directed by Erriki Karu during 1924.
