The Little Helmet Film Challenge 2026

Having a hard time picking a movie to watch tonight? Do you always end up watching the same ones? The Little Helmet Film Challenge is there to brighten your day and help you discover new experiences.
Press play and bring out the popcorn!
The Film Challenge encourages you to watch 25 films in 2026 that match the ideas listed below. Alternatively, you can make up your own rules! What is your goal? Tackle the challenge in the way you want or write your own rules with your classmates or your family. Challenge your parents or another class at school.
A Film Challenge for the whole family
The Little Film Challenge complements the existing challenges. It is intended for children and young people, families, classrooms and adults who would like to take on a shorter Film Challenge. The Little Helmet Film Challenge promotes audiovisual literacy and introduces audiences of all ages to worlds they have never seen before.
Little Helmet Film Challenge has been made in cooperation with Media-avain.
