In The Footsteps Of Tenet

OVERVIEW

Visit locations where some of the most pivotal scenes in the movie “Tenet” were shot and hear anecdotal stories about the production from your insider guide, who was on the sets. Academy Award-nominated Christopher Nolan directed the sci-fi action film, which was released in 2020. Much of it was shot in Tallinn at buildings that include the Linnahall, which was part of a complex completed for the 1980 Summer Olympics during the Soviet Era. Other notable locations include the Kumu Art Museum and the Maarjjamäe Memorial, a modernistic site that honors those who died defending the Soviet Union in World War II. The scenes shot on Laagna Tee freeway were particularly breathtaking as they involved an elaborate, time-bending car chase. The road had to be almost entirely closed for three weeks while the stunt drivers – many of them locals – raced through downtown Tallinn. “Tenet” turned out to be the biggest, most profitable film ever shot in Estonia.
