Evenings of Cinema with Arvo Pärt - The Great Beauty
The successful screening series of the the Estonian Institute presenting the numerous links between Arvo Pärt’s music and cinema is to be continued in 2016.

The screening will be introduced by film- and music critic László Kolozsi (in Hungarian).
