Estonia is targeting a threefold expansion of its film industry within five years, with two new sound stages under construction forming the cornerstone of a bid to become a full-service hub for international productions, officials said at the Cannes Film Festival.

The ambition was laid out at a Variety Global Conversations panel bringing together Edith Sepp, CEO of the Estonian Film Institute; Nele Paves, film commissioner at Film Estonia; Joonas Tartu, head of Tallinnfilm Studios; producer and Stellar Film partner Evelin Penttilä; and Viljar Lubi, Estonia’s ambassador to France.
