Baltic Event

About

The general aim of the annual project Baltic Event (hereinafter Baltic Event) is promotion of audiovisual works from the low production capacity member states of the European Union or countries participating at the Creative Europe MEDIA programme. The main target of the market is European networking, promotion, co-production and distribution of European audiovisual works, but Baltic Event always invites representatives from global territories as well. One of the goals of Baltic Event is to facilitate interaction, cooperation, and co-production between the Baltic, Scandinavian, Central and Eastern European, Russian and Ukrainian audiovisual industries and help them integrate with the audiovisual industries of high production capacity countries. The annual Baltic Event will include the Co-Production Market, POWR Baltic Stories Exchange, Script Pool Tallinn, Works in Progress presentations, and different panels and presentations on important topics of the film industry. 

Baltic Event takes place annually during Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.
