In English:

Welcome to the final Kaleidoscope Cinema screening of 2025 — and to a conversation on disabilities and accessibility in academia.



Join us at the Odeion Auditorium to watch two short films that introduce the theme and open space for shared reflection. This time, we will screen two international shorts: the award-winning Belgian fiction Downside Up (2017) and the experimental short documentary Upgrade (2024). The films set the stage for a panel discussion that explores the topic.

*******************************************

Tervetuloa vuoden 2025 viimeiseen Kaleidoscope Cinema -näytökseen ja keskustelemaan akateemisen maailman saavutettavuudesta ja esteettömyydestä.

Liity seuraamme Odeion-auditorioon kampukselle katsomaan lyhytelokuvia, jotka johdattavat teemaan ja avaavat tilaa yhteiselle pohdinnalle. Tällä kertaa katsomme kaksi kansainvälistä lyhytelokuvaa: palkitun belgialaisen Downside Up (2017) sekä kokeellisen lyhytdokumentin Upgrade (2024). Elokuvat alustavat paneelikeskustelun, jossa aihetta syvennetään eri näkökulmista.
