As 2012 is the 100th anniversary of Estonian film, everything is just a little bit more festive with us.
This year in Cannes the brand new Estonian film commission will be launched, with the main task to facilitate and organize film shoots in the magnificent Estonian locations. The info about the initiative can be found at filmestonia.eu
For the first time, we are putting together the Estonian films showreel, presenting eight new up and coming titles. Besides that, we have market screenings for five new Estonian films. The screening times are in the newsletter, when you scroll down.
