List of Finnish films before 1917

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A list of films produced in Finland ordered by year of release. For an alphabetical list of Finnish films see Category:Finnish films

The numbers in the Notes column refer to the numbering used by Suomen kansallisfilmografia. These numbers are given to all full-length films which have been shown in public theaters as a headlining or co-headlining film. Suomen kansallisfilmografia uses the minimum length of 37 minutes to qualify for a film to be listed, however the earliest films may be shorter than this (as 37 minutes was not even technically possible).
