Welcome to the Elonet service!

Elonet is a data base maintained by National Audiovisual Archive and the Finnish Board of Film Classification (Valtion elokuvatarkastamo, VET), containing information on films and other visual programs screened in Finland, and on the people and companies involved in making them.

The Quick Search in the top bar can be used for searching for films and persons by name. More detailed searches can be made in the Search pages, using such criteria as film title, contributing persons and company etc. Directions for making the searches are given adjacent to each search field and in the Search Instructions page.

Elonet is mainly concerned with domestic films and films distributed in Finland; accordingly, there may be gaps, for example, in the filmographies of foreign directors and actors.

Information on older films is continually being added to the data base.

Feedback on the service is welcomed – use the form on the Feedback page.

Currently, the data base contains 181451 films, 254475 persons and 170303 companies.

A film picked at random from the data base. Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962)
