Finland’s biggest documentary film festival DocPoint is held for the 24th time from 4 until 9 February, 2025. The festival shows the most anticipated Finnish premieres and the most talked about international documentaries. Two Czech films were selected for the festival this year as well.

Film "I´m Not Everything I Want To Be", directed by Klára Tasovská, follows the story of photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková, exploring the lives of sexual minorities on both sides of the Iron Curtain. With skillful direction, editing, and sound design, this film takes us beyond the photos to a truly cinematic experience. Director Klára Tasovská will attend the screening on 8 February.
