Loikka Dance Film Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary by screening highlights of the festival programme through the years. Looking Back 2008–2017 is a combination of films whose esthetics, atmosphere and filmmakers are an important part of Loikka’s story, too.

During the first year of the festival, it was a challenge to find Finnish dance films. Salla Tykkä’s Lasso was one of the most significant dance films at the time. In addition to visiting the festival, the international film directors Helena Jónsdóttir (Birgir), David Hinton (Touched), Alla Kovgan (New London Calling) and Marlene Millar (The Greater The Weight) have worked as experts in the education of Finnish dance artists between the years of 2009–2011, and thus had an essential impact on the development of Finnish dance films.

Loikka has been working with audience outreach and media education with children and youths since 2012. One of the most memorable all-time favourites of the students’ screenings is Steven Briard’s Friction. Goofing around and taking a stand as the counterforce to the contemporary Youtube culture, Santiago Correa’s hilarious Metube keeps lifting the viewer’s cheekbones with its absurdity again and again.

Loikka has been handing out awards to filmmakers since 2011, first as acknowledgements and  starting from 2016 as prizes. This screening will showcase Gravity – Un rêve de demain, the winner of Loikka Production Prize in 2014,  as well as Intrinsic Moral Evil, the winner of Audience Award in 2015.

The screening ends with Through The Supermarket In Five Easy Pieces, a film which resonates Loikka’s work in advancing the development of Finnish dance films. The film has been funded in the 2016 Loikka production project in collaboration with Loikka, the Finnish Film Foundation, the Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture and the Finnish national broadcasting company Yle. The production project has so far funded three new domestic dance films between the years of 2015–2018.
