One of the biggest things to happen in Tallinn in the recent years, at least in terms of a little Hollywood fame, many memorable/important scenes from Christopher Nolan's 2020 released motion picture
Tenet
were filmed here. The locations can be found all over the city, and capture multiple architectural periods and styles - from Soviet to the modern era as well as a few glimpses of Old Town, other recognisable Tallinn landmarks, and the passenger port area.
Here are a few of the more interesting locations which you'll be able to visit while in Tallinn.
Soviet-era concert hall (now closed while awaiting renovations, it can still be viewed and climbed) - used for the film's dramatic opening scene.

Maarjamäe Memorial Complex
First built in the 1970's and recently added to, this complex with it's large concrete Obelisk now serves as a memorial to remember the victims of the Soviet Union - scene for a very intense and highly intriguing discussion.
