Cinema!

Art program!

For the first time, KIKUMU will bring together almost all of Estonia’s leading contemporary art galleries. 

 

Art exhibitions will take over the labyrinthine spaces of the Jäneda Training Centre, presented by: Artrovert, Art&Tonic, FOKU, Kogo, Temnikova & Kasela, Tütar and Vaal galleries.

 

Special programmes will be curated by the experimental media outlet Levila and the creative collective Laevuke. Including the final of Levila’s social experiment of finding and coaching the next-next president of Estonia.

 

 

Jäneda Training Centre is just a one-hour drive from the capital city of Tallinn. In your navigation app, simply enter “KIKUMU” or “Jäneda Manor” as your destination.

 

We also recommend travelling by train from Tallinn.

Jäneda railway station is within walking distance of the festival site.

A dedicated festival shuttle bus operates between Aegviidu station, Nelijärve Holiday Centre accommodation and the festival grounds. A single ride costs €2, while a €10 shuttle pass grants unlimited use of the festival bus throughout the event.

 

The KIKUMU Midnight Express night train departs from Aegviidu to Tallinn at 00:15 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A dedicated shuttle bus will take passengers from the festival site to Aegviidu station. Train tickets are available at the KIKUMU festival gate.

 

 

The heart of the festival is the Jäneda Learning Center (Jäneda Õppekeskus), designed by Valve Pormeister and built in 1975 next to the Jäneda Manor House, a former state farm technical school. 

 

The exceptional modernist building is among the 10 most important buildings in Estonia of the last 100 years! The main building of Jäneda Manor, completed in 1915, will also be opened for the festival for the first time. 

 

This is the place where the father of science fiction H.G. Wells, and Estonia's own Mata Hari, the Jäneda Manor House Lady Mura, have spent their summers.
