Strengthening the Ties Between Baltic & Nordic Cinema

What is Baltic Focus?

Baltic Focus at New Nordic Films spotlights the film industries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. This initiative, made in cooperation with the Estonian Film Institute, National Film Centre of Latvia, Lithuanian Film Centre, and New Nordic Films, offers a unique platform for Baltic filmmakers to present their projects, engage with Nordic industry professionals, and unlock new opportunities for co-production.

With Baltic Focus, we aim to create a platform that fosters deeper collaboration and co-productions between the Nordic and Baltic film industries." – Gyda Velvin Myklebust, Head of New Nordic Films.
