“Saun Day” was selected for the TIFF festival

Anna Hints and Tushar Prakash’s short film “Sauna Day”, premiered at Cannes this spring, will enter the official Short Cuts program of one of the world’s most important film festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival.

The Toronto International Film Festival TIFF belongs to the “big five” of the film world, along with the Cannes, Venice, Berlin and Sundance festivals.

According to producers Johanna Maria Paulson and Evelin Penttilä, choosing the film for Toronto is a great honor: “The fact that the North American premiere of the film will take place in Toronto is a great recognition and we are extremely happy that “Sauna Day” has already reached two of the world’s top festivals. We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to the making of our film!”

This year’s TIFF will take place from 5 to 15 to September in Toronto, Canada.

“Sauna Day” is the only film by Estonian directors that was selected for TIFF this year. The last time Toronto passed the tight selection screen was in 2014 in Martti Helde’s “In The Crosswind”.
