INDUSTRY@TALLINN & BALTIC EVENT 2024 TACKLES THE ROLE OF THE CINEMA AND FOSTERS NEW GENERATION OF STORYTELLERS
The 23rd edition of Industry@Tallinn &; Baltic Event, the key summit for audiovisual professionals in Northern Europe, has kicked off. The eight-day programme of nearly 200 lectures, workshops, masterclasses, and market meetings will bring together more than 800 professionals in Tallinn and online.
According to Marge Liiske, the Head of Industry@Tallinn &; Baltic Event, this year's event focuses on the role of the cinema. "As the world undergoes profound changes, the role of cinema is more important than ever. At a time when humanity faces environmental challenges, social injustice and unrelenting conflict, our films need to be more than entertainment; they need to be calls to empathy, understanding and action.”
GERMANY IN FOCUS!
Germany takes the spotlight in Tallinn this year! At the Black Nights Film Festival, 140 German film industry professionals—directors, actors, screenwriters, producers, and more—will represent every corner of the field.
