Kaleidoscope Cinema

Kaleidoscope Cinema will continue in Autumn 2026 with new film screenings and discussions.

We warmly welcome suggestions for future films and themes. Feel free to share your ideas with the event team via email.

We organise EDI-themed (equality, diversity, and inclusion) film evenings that also include a panel discussion with invited guests on the themes of each film. The events are free of charge and open to all Aalto staff and students. All catering is vegan. The language of the discussion is English.

If you would like to join the Kaleidoscope Cinema mailing list for information on future screenings, please leave your email here
