    Estonia Announces First National Film and Television Awards Winners

    TALLINN: The Days that Confused by Triin Ruumet was awarded best feature film at the first edition of Estonia’s National Film and Television Awards on 12 March 2017. The Land of Love by Liivo Niglas was awarded best documentary. Several specialised film and TV prizes have been launched in Estonia over the years, but the country has lacked a unified annual prize until now.

    Two 21-person juries selected the nominees from among a total of 244 persons and teams.

    The event, which will become annual, was organised with the support of the EstonianFilm Institute, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Estonia, the Cultural Endowment of Estonia and the Baltics’ largest private media group Eesti Meedia.
