Festive programmes that turn a film screening into a complete day out.
Film Plus is more than watching a film: you also discover how films are made. Voice actors, stunt performers, foley artists and many other experts take you behind the scenes. You may never watch or listen to a film in the same way again.
At the Taartrovers Tekenfeestje toddler workshop (3+), everything revolves around drawing. Draw in the air together, help make the world’s biggest drawing and even bring your own creation to the big screen. Feeling hungry after all that drawing? Make an edible picture to enjoy.
Want to make the most of your visit and see as much as possible? A Film Mix combines the very best short films. Enjoy not just one film, but several different stories with something special in common.
Discover remarkable stories and films from Estonia.
