    60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero

    In August 2011 Tallinn will host a unique film premiere - the only screening of the film dedicated to preserving freedom of thought in cinema.
    Flying in the face of the cynicism of marketing, producers, business operators and the moral majority, a group of directors from all over the world 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 a screen and projector will be built for the event which 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 . www.60sec.ee
