SUMMARY:CLOSING NIGHT: OUR ERIKA | NYBFF
DESCRIPTION:The 9th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November continuing its tradition of bringing the best new films from the Baltic region to New York audiences! \nThe Sunday evening screening will feature the U.S. Premiere of Our Erika (Meie Erika)\, Estonia’s The Sunday evening screening will feature the U.S. Premiere of Our Erika (Meie Erika)\, Estonia’s ’s entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards and 2026 NYBFF Closing Night Film with a talk with director German Golub. \nOur Erika is a heartfelt\, captivating story of Estonian track bicyclist Erika Salumäe\, who fought her way from a troubled childhood in orphanages and foster homes to the highest podium level of the Olympic Games. As a child born in 1962\, Salumäe struggled with an abusive home life\, shattered dreams\, and coaches with their own agendas—not to mention the harsh and dehumanizing sports system of the former Soviet Union. Despite this\, she went on to smash world records and rack up numerous medals\, culminating in an ultimate win: the first Olympic gold medal for Estonia in 56 years after the country regained independence in 1991. Directed by German Golub\, the recipient of the coveted Student Academy Award\, Our Erika features Karolin Jürise’s star-making performance as a determined and iron-willed athlete\, and shows how every nation needs a hero—even if that nation seldom stops to ask if there is something that the hero needs.  \nPurchase Tickets
