The season will kick off with an upstanding introduction to the whole program. In Order of Dissapearance is a pitch-black crime comedy from snowy Scandinavia that has struck the audience with standing ovations at the Berlin Film Festival, as well as at the local Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival, both this year.

Unique experiences will be granted throughout May. Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac in two parts leads us to an erotic and utterly controversial life of a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg); acclaimed filmmaker Wong Kar Wai’s Grandmaster is a dainty visual display for everyone who is into martial arts and Eastern culture; The Great Beauty and Blue Jasmine, both awarded with numerous prizes, including an Oscar; and many more renown favorites.

Sun terrace with authentic and modern Japanese cuisine MoMo is open daily in addition to each night’s movie session. Fair lunch offers and cocktails from fresh ingredients are available from 12.00 Monday to Friday, and from 17.00 during weekends.

The unique large scale outdoor cinema hosts 500 people daily, the entrance fees being 6€ for a regular ticket and 8€ if you prefer to book a comfortable VIP-box that seats 10-12 people comfortably. The tickets can be purchased beforehand from Piletilevi selling points or right before the screening on site.

The Rooftop Cinema is selected among world’s top 5 best “cinemas under the sun” by ELLE Travel magazine in 2012.

The Rooftop Cinema season runs from May 15th until August 31st.
