SUMMARY:Online Discussion. Baltic Spotlight: Baltic Sea Security in an Age of Russian Aggression
DESCRIPTION:The Joint Baltic American National Committee will host its next Baltic Spotlight on October 29 at 8 p.m. ET\, featuring Benjamin Schmitt\, Senior Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and Senior Fellow for Democratic Resilience at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). \n\n\n\nSince Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine\, it has intensified attacks on European infrastructure\, seeking to destabilize and sow doubt within European civil society. The Baltic Sea has become a flashpoint in infrastructure security discussions\, with multiple incidents of cable cutting resulting in damaged data cables and gas lines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelping assess the state of Baltic Sea security and potential policy solutions is Benjamin Schmitt\, author of the report “UNDERWATER MAYHEM: Countering Threats to Energy and Critical Infrastructure Across the NATO Alliance and Beyond.”  \n\n\n\nSchmitt previously served as European Energy Security Advisor at the U.S. Department of State\, where he advanced diplomatic engagement vital to the energy and national security interests of the transatlantic community\, focusing on strengthening the resilience of NATO’s eastern flank and Ukraine in the face of Russian malign energy activities. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join the discussion on Zoom and learn more about Russia’s shadow war in the Baltic Sea. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here \n\n\n\n\nThe Estonian American National Council is a proud supporter and founding member organization of the Joint Baltic American National Committee.

A new generation of filmmakers is emerging with a distinct\, brave and unique voice; meanwhile\, older masters of Baltic cinema continue to produce films of the highest caliber. This year’s NYBFF will explore contemporary issues with an outlook to the future—which couldn’t be brighter. Please join us in November to see the world through Baltic eyes.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person Line Up \n\n\n\nVirtual Screenings Line Up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFor program announcements\, please subscribe to the festival newsletter at balticfilmfestival.com and Scandinavia House newsletter at scandinaviahouse.org.
