Tallinn Festival Hosts Baltic Goes to Cannes Showcase
The top Baltic film festival will spotlight five hot titles from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania at the Cannes Marché pitching session on May 16.
The Baltics are on a roll, flying high on Latvia’s first ever Oscar win with “Flow,” so why not build on that momentum and flag what’s next from the region, argues Black Nights Festival’s Triin Tramberg, curator of the program. Indeed, the Tallinn Fest Goes to Cannes slate covers all genres, from Estonian dark comedy “O’Slaughter Day,” experimental “Mo Amor,” Lithuanian dramas “Oblivion”and “They Call Me Danka,” to Latvia’s crime “Red Code Blue.” Each titles stems from strong voices ready to light the international festival and arthouse circuits. His debut pic, co-penned by Kornelijus Stučkusis, is a psychological drama about a young sex worker who tracks her estranged father and enters his life under a false identity.
