Estonian filmmakers have postponed the premieres of films several times due to the restrictions, now, two premieres have moved to the summer: Priit Pääsuke s film Öölapsed was postponed to July, Rasmus Merivoo s Kratt to August.
Comedy Öölapsed distributor Katre Valgma told ERR they decided to postpone the film s premiere to summer due to the coronavirus. The film was actually finished at the end of 2020 and is waiting for the virus to recede and the cinemas to open, she said. Considering it is not known yet whether it is possible to open cinemas in May, we chose the next possible month which is July because the months fit with the topics that are covered, Valgma said and emphasized that even though the spread of the virus has mixed up the plans of the entire cinema world, they are still positively minded about the film premiering.
