The third annual Boston Baltic Film Festival in Boston plans to present three days of the latest award-winning films from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania for in-person screening in the Fall of 2021.
In the meantime, the BBFF is presenting virtually a Spring Mini Festival featuring three films (one from each Baltic nation), available for viewing on a flexible timeline over several upcoming weekends in April, followed by interviews with the filmmakers.
World-class feature films and documentaries for all generations offer a unique opportunity to get to know the Baltic soul – creative, reflective, and rebellious. Organized by American Latvian National League and Baltic Film Committee, in collaboration with ArtsEmerson.
