Thanks for your report!
It's hard to tell why it happened? According to the change activity -> in 2016, a user first added the English title "Last Minute", then removed it immediately, and shortly after, a moderator added it again and most likely locked it. I can't find any connection to this English title, except that "Äkkilähtö" translates to "Last Minute", apparently. And I assume that happened -> someone just made a translation!
Thanks for the link to the production company! I changed the English title now to "Off The Map", but I'm not sure that's accurate? We have a rule for no official releases that says:
"The festival title is usually used permanently for never-released movies. However, in some rare cases, for movies without an official release, we might choose to leave the translated title blank rather than use a (bad) unofficial English translated title:
In this case, I can't find an official release of the movie in English. But the production company uses it, and some of the posters, like this one: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/6cnuIESvvOPgvncmWvzQVsKwMDa.jpg. I think that's enough to make the decision to use this title. But I'll keep this discussion open for other moderators to join the conversation and make a decision.

It's also the EN festival title (and it's not a bad title).
