Tallinn's cinematic landscapes from Rotermann to Linnahall (PÖFF partner tour, in Estonian)

In cooperation with the Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF), the Estonian Centre for Architecture has put together a special tour that presents Estonian architecture as seen through the eyes of the camera.

We look at where architecture and film meet, which places have inspired directors from Estonia and abroad, and which locations could offer future filmmakers a setting.

The route starts in Rotermann Quarter, transformed since Tarkovsky filmed 'Stalker' there; the isolated 'Zone' has become one of Tallinn's most modern districts. We continue to Kultuurikatel, the former power plant that is now one of the region's most unusual event venues, where the 'UN' sign painted for 'Stalker' can still be seen on the chimney. We finish at Linnahall, where Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' was shot and Tanel Toom's 'The Last Watchpost' was filmed. Linnahall's future remains uncertain: some want it demolished, while most people value it and want it kept for future generations.

The walk lasts 120 minutes and covers about 3 km. Tours run in Estonian, Russian and English; private tours are available in six languages (info@archtours.ee).

Sunday 15 November, 13:00, meeting point Rotermann Quarter, at the beginning of Stalkeri käik, Tallinn.
