Just Film is returning to the Tartuff Love Film Festival with a special screening showcasing two fresh Estonian films created by young filmmakers. The free event features "Idioot" and "Saunaaeg" ("Sauna Time") – two ambitious productions that reflect the passion, creativity and determination of a new generation of storytellers.

The 56-minute film "Idiot" was made possible through a highly successful crowdfunding campaign on Hooandja. Born from a desire to tell a story that truly resonates with their own generation, the film is a testament to what young creators can achieve when they bring a community behind their vision.
"Sauna time" is the latest work by the filmmaking team that first gained recognition with their feature film "Limpa ja unemaailm", which they created while still in high school. Until now, only a handful of people around the world have had the opportunity to see the film, making this screening a rare chance to experience it on the big screen.

Discussion: Creating for Yourself vs. Creating for Others
Following the screenings, audiences are invited to stay for a discussion with the filmmakers titled "Creating for Yourself vs. Creating for Others."
The conversation will explore the challenges and rewards of sharing creative work with the world, including how to deal with feedback, expectations and self-doubt. The filmmakers will also reflect on what they learned throughout the creative process and how these experiences will shape their future projects.

As part of Tartu Youth Day, the screening and discussion offer a unique source of inspiration for young people interested in filmmaking, storytelling and other creative fields.
