The fourth instalment of Dr. Sander's Hour of Horror presents Mart Sander's new films - including two world premieres!

“The Killing Art” is an ultra-short horror film that premiered at the Tampere Film Festival in the under-one-minute category. “Circus Macabre” is an ambitious philosophical disaster spectacle created using hyper-realistic AI animation. The film will have its world premiere at HÕFF.

“Tallinn in Flames” depicts a moonlit night in 1944, when Soviet bombers turned Tallinn into a burning labyrinth of fire and ash – attacking the capital of a country that was not even at war. Through restored images and lived memory, the film reveals how a single night of imperial violence continues to echo as a warning to the world today. The film won the Audience Choice Award at the International Documentary Film Festival in Tbilisi.

“The Rose Key” is a film adaptation of Mart Sander’s play, which premiered successfully last year. When an eccentric countess agrees to an interview with a dubious newspaperman, the shadows of the past stir-and neither will escape their grasp. Intended primarily for television, this intimate and claustrophobic thriller is based on real events. The film will have its world premiere at HÕFF.

And as always, Dr. Sander has a last-minute surprise in store – a film that will likely be completed just an hour before its premiere!
