Pärnu International Documentary and Science Film Festival

Born from the idea of Lennart Meri in 1987, the Pärnu International Documentary and Anthropology Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the Baltic States. Organised under the leadership of filmmaker Mark Soosaar, one of the main themes of the festival has always been the survival of indigenous peoples and their cultures. The programme also includes social reflections on contemporary society, portraits of fascinating people and human relations, as well as films on music and art. Children and the youth have always been included, for them we organise workshops and show a programme of children's and youth film competitions.
