• @arttujtuominen Hehkuvan kuuman päivän kruunasi Créteil en Poche festivaalin tuomariston Vaietulle (Tous les silences) myöntämä parhaan käännösdekkarin palkinto. Oli upea kunnia vastaanottaa se yleisön edessä. Taatusti ensimmäinen ja ehkä myös viimeinen kerta kun vastaanotan palkinnon shortseissa 😅. Mutta hei, ihan mahtavaa! Huomenna jatketaan. Onneksi lämpö tippuu enää 33 asteeseen. Kiitos hienosta käännöksestä Claire Saint-Germainille ❤️

Freelance journalist, non-fiction author and Programme Director of the Helsinki Book Fair Ville Blåfield is taking on a new role as Development Manager at FILI. Beginning in August, he will be responsible for developing literary exports. Earlier this spring, FILI received €250,000 in funding from the Swedish Literature Society (Svenska litteratursällskapet) to support this work over the next five years.

FILI’s Director Tiia Strandén notes that Finnish literary exports have in recent years been developed systematically through close collaboration with the entire book sector.

“The international growth and visibility of Finnish literature will be strengthened both through targeted market initiatives and by highlighting specific literary genres. Achieving this requires the involvement of the entire literary field – from authors, publishers and translators to literary agents and funders. This new concept will help create even better prospects for books that already have strong international potential. We are delighted to have Ville Blåfield leading this development work. As Programme Director of the Helsinki Book Fair, he has done a fantastic job in increasing the popularity and visibility of both Finnish literature and the book fair itself.”

Blåfield has served as Programme Director of the Helsinki Book Fair since 2022 and will continue in the role through this year’s event, taking place on 22–25 October.

“My years as Programme Director of the Helsinki Book Fair have been a deep dive into the world of contemporary literature, and I am truly delighted to be able to continue working in this field, and on behalf of Finnish literature, in the years ahead. The recent success of many Finnish authors in the translation market speaks to a new kind of momentum. The growing international interest in Finnish literature has also been evident within the book fair. With FILI’s expertise and unique international network, I am confident that we will be able to create entirely new and successful concepts for cultural exports.”
