In choosing Helsinki, the World Design Capital selection jury highlighted Helsinki's use of 'Embedded Design', which has tied design in the city to innovation, "creating global brands, such as [[Nokia]], [[Kone]], and [[Marimekko]], popular events, like the annual {{ill|Helsinki Design Week|fi}}, outstanding education and research institutions, such as the [[Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture]], and exemplary architects and designers such as [[Eliel Saarinen]] and [[Alvar Aalto]]".<ref name="Worlddesigncapital.com" /> Helsinki hosts many film festivals. Most of them are small venues, while some have generated interest internationally. The most prolific of these is the [[Helsinki International Film Festival|Helsinki International Film Festival – Love & Anarchy]] film festival, also known as Helsinki International Film Festival, which features films on a wide spectrum. [[Night Visions (film festival)|Night Visions]], on the other hand, focuses on genre cinema, screening [[horror film|horror]], [[fantasy]], and [[science fiction]] films in very popular movie marathons that last the entire night.
