In english

he Association of Finnish Film Directors (SELO) became a registered association in 1986.

The purpose of SELO is to act as a national tie-up amongst Finnish film directors and to endeavour to improve conditions (both tangible and intangible) for the work of directors, to promote the Finnish cinema, and to oversee the professional interests of its members and guard against infringements of copyright.

SELO organizes training and seminars dealing with the substance of the film director's work.

SELO is a member of Kopiosto, a joint copyright organisation of authors, performers and publishers, and various international film directors' associations and copyright organizations (SNF, FERA, AIDAA).

To be considered for membership in the association a candidate is
required to be a director of recognised artistic and professional merit.
Membership applications can be addressed to the board and must include a curriculum vitae and a detailed filmography.

From May 2002 on film students at the University of Art and Design Helsinki
UIAH may apply for a special student membership.
