Edge Of The Night
Experience Tallinn as it’s never been seen – raw, intoxicating and completely alive.
As the sun sets, director Vladimir Loginov takes audiences to a Tallinn far from the postcard-perfect spires of the medieval Old Town. Venturing into its hidden underbelly, he reveals complex realities and vibrant subcultures.
From the first cries of newborns in a maternity ward to the moans of lovers in a sex club, from emergency call operators giving life-saving instructions to the pulsing rhythms of a nightclub, Loginov guides viewers through a waking dream – a sensory journey that must be experienced on the big screen.
A nocturnal love letter to a city alive with character and hidden stories, the film drifts between vibrant chaos and quiet stillness, capturing Tallinn not asleep but dreaming. In its sleepless hours and shadowed beauty, the city reveals itself anew – intimate, urgent, and unforgettable.
