In preparation of the launch of 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero - the highlight event of European Capital of Culture Tallinn 2011, please join us for a short welcome and press gathering on Tuesday 17 May 2011 from 14:30 until 16:30 at PANTIERO, PAVILION 212, ESTONIAN FILMS.
In August 2011 Tallinn will host a unique film premiere - the singular screening of films dedicated to preserving freedom of thought in cinema.
Flying in the face of the cynicism created by marketing agents, producers, business operators and the moral majority, a group of world renown film directors will be coming together to screen once and once only a collage film entitled 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero.
The screening will take place in the open air on the coast of Tallinn Bay. A special construction comprising of a screen and projector will be built for the event that will allow the actual filmstrip to be burnt at the same time as the film is shown.
The installation design and the screening itself are being arranged by MC Peter van Bagh and by Taavi Eelmaa and Veiko Õunpuu, the authors of the manifesto of 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero, and the filmmakers behind of internationally acclaimed Estonian features "Autumn Ball" & "Temptation of St. Tony".
From the 60 Seconds team, the renowned Japanese director Naomi Kawase will be present as well as Estonian actor Taavi Eelmaa and Estonian film programmer and one of executive producers Sten Saluveer.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Cannes!
