The Finnish cinema has a long history with first public screenings starting almost as early as modern motion picture technology was invented (the first screening in the world was in 1895 in Finland in 1896). It took over a decade before the first Finnish film was produced and screened in 1907. After these first steps of Finnish cinema the progress was very slow. After 1907 there were two periods (1909–1911 and 1917–1918) when no Finnish films were produced.
