### **A city-wide festival, Estonia Now, will take place from 12 to 18 November at Glasgow’s major art institutions.**

Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, the UK, is due to host a myriad of Estonian cultural events – from art to ballet to film and music.

The post-industrial arts space, Tramway, will host the exhibition, “Trial and Error”, featuring works by Estonian artists Flo Kasearu, Mari-Leen Kiipli, Paul Kuimet, Laura Kuusk and Camille Laurell, Mark Raidpere, Liina Siib, Ingel Vaikla and Marge Monko. The art venue will also screen works by three Estonian choreographers – Mart Kangro, Karl Saks and Sigrid Savi – on 13 and 14 November.

Tramway is also the venue for the Estonian National Ballet’s Scottish debut on 16 and 17 November. Three short ballets – “Time” by Tiit Helimets, “Silent monologues” by Thomas Edur and “Echo” by Eve Mutso will be performed.

### **The film programme**

The Glasgow Film Theatre will screen [“November”](https://estonianworld.com/tag/november-movie/)
 by Rainer Sarnet on 14 November, while “Ice” by Anna Hints and “The Man Who Looks Like Me” by Katrin and Andres Maimik will screen on 17 November.

“Rodeo”, a [documentary](https://estonianworld.com/culture/new-estonian-documentaries-to-celebrate-the-countrys-centenary/)
 about the first post-Soviet government in Estonia, led by Mart Laar, will screen on 15 November at Kelvin Hall Lecture Theatre. The screening is preceded by a public lecture by the Estonian ambassador in the UK, Tiina Intelmann.

On 16 November, the Strathclyde University Technology and Innovation Centre will host a public discussion on Estonian [digital governance and solutions](https://estonianworld.com/tag/e-estonia/)
.

On 17 November, the Estonian electronic musicians Hypnosaurus, DJ Ilmajaam, Hape and Cubus Larvik, alongside with Glasgow-based DJ Ajay C, will perform at the Stereo music bar.
