Mia Halme

Mia Halme is a director of creative documentary films. The themes of her films are connected to human relationships and freedom – love, family, loneliness – and the extents of human dignity.

Prior to this, Halme studied Journalism and Women’s Studies and worked as a journalist for newspapers and the radio.
