Dear Eija (if I may),
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For The Seven samurai, you may check with The Jokers films (in France). They might know who has the rights for Finland:</div>

Probably only valid for Switzerland, and with German/French subtitles, but maybe they can point you to another distributor.<br>

<div>Hi Eija,</div>
I cannot speak for Europe, but North American rights for both films are with Janus Films (I don't think they have European rights for either), but that's likely not too helpful, unfortunately. If it doesn't have Finnish distribution, I would guess<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>After
