In preparation of the launch of an omnibus film - 60
Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero -  the
highlight event of European Capital of Culture Tallinn 2011, Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival organized
a short welcome and press gathering on Tuesday 17 May 2011.

The press gathering introduced the project, revealed
the first directors, as well as provided an opportunity to meet 60 seconds
participating Japanese director Naomi Kawase whose  Hanezu no tsuki  is
featured in Cannes Official Selection.

In August 2011 Tallinn will host a unique film premiere ?
the singular screening of films dedicated to preserving freedom of thought in
cinema.

Flying in the face of the cynicism created by marketing
agents, producers, business operators and the moral majority, a group of world
renown film directors will be coming together to screen once and once only a
collage film entitled 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero.

The screening will take place in the open air on the
coast of Tallinn Bay. A special construction comprising of a screen and
projector will be built for the event that will allow the actual filmstrip to
be destroyed at the same time as the film is shown.

The installation design and the screening itself are
being arranged by MC Peter van Bagh, and by Taavi Eelmaa and Veiko ?unpuu, the
authors of the manifesto of 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero, and the
filmmakers behind of internationally acclaimed Estonian features ?Autumn Ball?
& ?Temptation of St. Tony?.

From the 60 Seconds team, the renowned Japanese director
Naomi Kawase will be present, as well as Estonian actor Taavi Eelmaa and Sten
Saluveer -  one of executive producers of
the project.
