We will begin with a screening of LUNA ROSSA, the new film by Olga and Priit Pärn. Surveillance cameras see everything, and airport security seems to leave no room for chance. Yet despite the intense scrutiny, a group of activists manages to carry out their mysterious plan. LUNA ROSSA is an absurdist, darkly humorous story about surveillance, shifting identities, and a world where it is not always clear who is watching whom — or what is really happening.

After the screening, we will talk with the filmmakers about how the idea for the story emerged and gradually took shape on screen. We will discuss the animation techniques, their approach to image and movement, and the creative decisions that shaped the film’s distinctive visual style.

A separate focus of the conversation will be Olga and Priit Pärn’s creative partnership. How do two artists work on the same film when each has their own artistic voice and vision? How do they divide roles, make creative decisions, and navigate disagreements? We will talk about the advantages of such a partnership, mutual influence and trust, as well as the challenges that arise when professional collaboration is also part of married life.

Moderator — animation director Mykyta Lyskov.
