Tartuff, which is being organised for the 18th this year, is the biggest outdoor film festival in the entire Baltic region.

At Tartuff, a total of 20 international films will be shown during the six days of the festival. Five continents are represented on the festival’s film list, with the most distant countries participating being Mongolia, Chile and Morocco.

The open-air theater built on town hall square has 1000 seats and a 128-square-metre screen. All films in the open-air theater are free of charge to watch. In addition to the open-air cinema, you can watch movies in Tartu’s Elektriteater.
