A documentary film festival running through to March at the Kumu Art Museum (Kumu kunstimuuseum) in Tallinn will kick-off with a new take on the Beatles' legendary 1968 trip to India. The Estonian premiere will be introduced by veteran singer and fab four fan Ivo Linna, while anyone searching for an anti-dote to hippiedom might want to catch a biopic of X-Ray Spex singer Poly Styrene, also seeing its premiere, later on in the festival.
The USP of the film is that it offers an Indian perspective on events and anecdotes that are familiar to Beatlemaniacs around the globe.
