The beloved Nordic Noir has evolved and one of its new flavours is dark comedy. And there is no better place to look for darkness than Finland – a nation drenched in it for six months every winter.

Experts in panel: writer Brendan Foley, producer Jackie Larkin, commissioner Arttu Nurmi and distribution executive Jean- Michel Ciszewski.
Their series Mister 8, Stop Nyqvist, The Man Who Died and 66th North Precinct have delighted audiences across the world.
