Fascinating Film Garden

Enjoy movies under the Helsinki sky. The highlight of Helsinki City Museum’s vibrant summer event season is Fascinating Film Garden with a programme dedicated to European and American horror films.

Program
On Friday 14 August, the audience will get to enjoy Joe Dante‘s cult comedy Gremlins (1984) and James Whale’s gothic horror classic The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). On Saturday 15 August, the evening will feature Tim Burton‘s spellbinding horror fantasy Sleepy Hollow (1999) and J.A. Bayona‘s chilling ghost story The Orphanage (2007). On Wednesday 19 August, the event will culminate in William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973) – a film that needs no introduction. Age rating: 16.

The films will be screened with an old-time analogue 35 mm film projector. The technical implementation will be carried out by Helsingin Studiopalvelut, with whom the City Museum has been collaborating since 2018. Refreshments and film treats sold by El Fant Cafe & Wine Bar. Come and enjoy this urban courtyard, the late summer’s dusky nights and classic films on the silver screen!
