O’Slaughter heads to Cannes

The Tartu Film Fund–supported feature project O’Slaughter (Estonian title: Seatapp, directed by Ove Musting, produced by Jaan Laugamõts) has been selected to participate in the Tallinn Black Nights Goes to Cannes showcase at the Marché du Film during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Curated by the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) in collaboration with the Marché du Film, the showcase will feature five projects from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on stage at the TAG Producers’ Network event on May 16. All selected films are currently in post-production and actively seeking co-financing, sales representation, and festival partnerships.

O’Slaughter is a darkly humorous story set in Southern Estonia’s distinctive landscape. Most of the film was shot in the Tartu Film Fund region.

The Cannes Marché du Film is one of the world’s leading film industry markets, connecting projects with global buyers, festival programmers, and co-production partners.

The Tartu Film Fund is proud to support a project that represents both regional filmmaking and international potential, and we look forward to O’Slaughter reaching wider audiences in the near future.
