Dear friends!
We invite all Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine in Estonia to the special event "Yellow-blue Butterflies", dedicated to the children of Ukraine, as part of the "Standing with Ukraine" programme at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) on 20 November at the Tallinn School of Music and Ballet (MUBA)!
The event marks Children's Protection Day, which Ukraine will now observe every year on World Children's Day, and will be held with the support and in the presence of the First Lady of Estonia, Sirje Karis.
At this critical moment in Ukraine's history, while the war continues and culture has become an important tool of resistance and of preserving national identity, the "Yellow-blue Butterflies" event aims to honour and support the youngest victims of this war and give them a voice through culture and art.
It is an international initiative designed to draw the world's attention to the tragedy of Ukrainian children forcibly taken and abducted by the Russian authorities during the war.
The event will include:
- The premiere of the short film "Yellow-blue Butterflies" – a multimedia project about the power of art as a tool for the psychological support of children affected by war;
- A dance performance by Ukrainian children (Ukraine) and a performance by children of the Sunday school "Nadija" (Estonia)
- A digital performance by Ukrainian composer Roman Hryhoriv;
- Speeches by guests of honour;
- An exhibition of children's drawings, "Colours That Restore Life", organised with the support of the "Children of Heroes" Charitable Foundation;
- Writing a letter of support to a Ukrainian child who has been illegally deported to Russia and is being held there by force, without the possibility of returning home to Ukraine.
This year the "Standing with Ukraine" programme is run jointly by the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival PÖFF and the State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema. The co-organisers of the initiative are the Association of Ukrainian Organisations in Estonia, which for the second year in a row has been supporting and promoting this initiative in the Ukrainian community in Estonia, and Fresh Production Group.
The project is supported by the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Estonia, the "Children of Heroes" Charitable Foundation, the Association of Film Commissions of Ukraine, the State Film Agency of Ukraine, the Union of Young Film Critics of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Project Agency.
The aim of the initiative is Estonia's support for the Ukrainian film industry in wartime, the promotion of Ukraine's European integration and better interaction and cooperation between European and Ukrainian filmmakers.
The event will be held in Ukrainian and Estonian. The film will be shown in Ukrainian with English subtitles!
- When: 20 November at 17:00
- Where: Tallinna Muusika- ja Balletikool / MUBA at Pärnu mnt. 59, 10134 Tallinn.

We look forward to seeing you at this extraordinary cultural event, which symbolises the resilience, unity and unbreakable faith of Ukrainians in victory.
