Teema: RE: Collaboration - Film Diplomacy Conference 2025
Dear Elina Jahedi,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Ministry of Culture of Estonia acknowledges the role of film diplomacy in contemporary culture. We are supporting a number of film days abroad, an A-list film festival nationally, as well as operations of art-house cinemas in the country. The films empower dialogue, public diplomacy and mutual understanding in a number of ways.
Yet, as a ministry, our goals and plans are set for a longer period of time and unfortunately we can not have a meaningful contribution with a short notice. In general, an interested national partner is a necessary premise for the ministry to be involved.
I hope the conference will proceed as expected and we are interested in the outcomes of the conference.
Best regards,
Karlo Funk

Dear Sir or Madam,
I hope this message finds you well.
My name is Elina Jahedi, and I am the Head of the International Relations Team at the Film Diplomacy Conference (FDC), an international initiative bringing together filmmakers, diplomats, cultural leaders, and changemakers from over 25 countries. This year, the conference will take place in Istanbul in December 2025, focusing on how film can serve as a powerful tool to inspire social change and foster intercultural dialogue.
We would be deeply honored to explore a collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of Estonia in the context of FDC 2025. Your participation and support would provide an excellent platform to highlight Estonia’s cultural initiatives, artistic achievements, and commitment to promoting international understanding through film and the arts.
We would be delighted to discuss potential avenues for cooperation and explore how we might jointly contribute to this international platform. Please find attached a brief overview of the conference, which includes further details about the initiative. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to coordinate with your team at your earliest convenience.
With highest respect and warm regards,
