The Savonlinna International Nature Film Festival, organized annually in August, has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic until 2021.
”With heavy hearts, we regret to inform that it has been unsustainable for our festival production to wait so long for the new measures regarding the events and gatherings planned for late summer.” said festival’s director Annakaisa Vänttinen.
”To guarantee the safety has been a constant issue during this spring. The health and safety of all our visitors, filmmakers and volunteers is our number one priority, that’s why we have decided to postpone the festival to be held in 2021.”
