xxth August 2008 – Yes, oh yes. Now things get big!

Rokumentti Rock Film Festival is proud to announce two big time gigs at Joensuu Areena 13th and 14th November. Festival opening night features Finnish major successes CMX and Apulanta and our international stars Disco Ensemble and I Walk the Line. Friday night special is local loonies Eläkeläiset. And that's just for the starters. Endless lists of movies and music will be announced later. So stop your whining about cold and dark fall, we're going to bring you light and warmness. And loud music. Rock. Personalities. Everything. Just wait.

And if you don't have patience to wait till November we give you appetizers of what will come. We'll screen the best two concert films made this year: Martin Scorsese's Shine a Light (about Rolling Stones) and Julian Schabel's Lou Reed's Berlin. Try to hold till November with those.

See you!

16th May 2008 – The fourth Rokumentti is bigger and better than ever - welcome!

Rokumentti – Rock Film Festival will be held in Joensuu from 13th to 16th November 2008.

Also this year, the festival is full of both exciting rock movie classics and new and unusual combinations of pop culture and moving picture. The festival organisation is constantly looking for films and documents with a connection to rock music, pop culture or music makers in Finland and abroad.

The main venue of the Rokumentti Festival is Movie Center Tapio, but during the festival weekend there are special events taking place all around the town of Joensuu!
