The Haapsalu Õudus- ja Fantaasiafilmide Festival (HÕFF) is set to feature a documentary film competing in the category for the best Estonian genre film for the first time. The film in question is “Tallinn leekides,” directed by Mart Sander, which was developed in collaboration with Postimees. This documentary centers on the history of the bombing of Tallinn, offering viewers an in-depth look at the events. The film has garnered significant public attention, accumulating over 200,000 views through the Postimees TV platform. This high viewership places it among the most-watched documentaries in Estonia. The inclusion of this specific historical account—the pommitamise of Tallinn—within a genre film competition marks a notable moment for Estonian cinema. Traditionally, genre film festivals focus on fiction, but “Tallinn leekides” brings a powerful, factual narrative to the forefront. The film’s participation underscores the growing recognition of historical dokumentaal works within the genre filmmaking landscape. For festival attendees, this presents an opportunity to view a highly viewed piece of local history, one that documents a significant chapter in the city’s past. The film’s success in reaching such a large audience suggests a strong public appetite for documentary storytelling that engages with major national events, particularly those concerning the bombing of Tallinn.
