Emma O'Kelly will support and participate at the festival’s opening reception

We’re excited to announce Emma O'Kelly and British Sauna Society will support and participate at the festival’s opening event.

Emma is the author of Sauna, a book about the sauna culture.

“When I wrote Sauna book I had my first smoke sauna in one of the spaces captured so beautifully by Smoke Sauna Sisterhood filmmaker @annahints . It was deep, intense, exciting and rewarding and I wrote it all down. So great to be invited to @londonbalticff to meet Anna, sell books and swap stories. I’ll be there with the @britishsaunasociety in a bid to demonstrate to our Baltic brothers that the U.K. has a nascent sauna scene. I will be donating proceeds from signing and sales at the LBFF to the brilliant charity Sauna Aid which sends healing saunas to disaster regions (currently Ukraine).”

@britishsaunasociety will be at @ealing_project to champion the authentic sauna experience to the UK public, sharing magical sauna moments 🔥💦🌿❄️
