Worldfilm Tartu Festival

About

This documentary film festival develops interest towards anthropological, analytical approach to cultures and societies, welcoming film entries from all over the world. Our film program turns attention to intercultural communication and cultural exchange as well as representations of contemporary everyday culture in various places of the world. Each year, the festival becomes a lively community of filmmakers and the audience.

As film screenings are accompanied by a brief presentation and discussion of the film, the directors of the submitted films are preferably present at our festival in order to introduce their films and discuss their works after the screening. Festival does not have competition program.  In addition to the film program, the festival usually involves round tables, exhibitions and special programs.
