Concerts and numerous other events around the world celebrate the 80-year-old Arvo Pärt in 2015. The works of the worldwide famous Estonian composer are accessible not only on concerts and on records, but quite often in cinemas as well. Pärt’s music inspired numerous film directors from Jean-Luc Godard through Tom Tykwer up to last year’s Oscar-winning Paolo Sorrentino. The movie series of the the Estonian Institute presents films, featuring Arvo Pärt’s music, as well as two documentaries about the composer.

The screenings are introduced by music and film critic László Kolozsi, lecturer at MOME (Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest).
