The Tallin Black Nights Film Festival (POFF) has unveiled further titles for its 30th edition, taking place on 6-22 November, including its Baltic Film Competition.
According to Edvinas Puuksta, curator of the Baltic Film Competition, international collaboration defines this year’s selection. Five films are directed by filmmakers from outside the Baltic countries, with Baltic talent and expertise playing an important role in their production.
“This year’s selection reflects the strength of Baltic co-productions and the growing contribution of our filmmakers to international cinema,” says Puksta. “Baltic producers, actors, cinematographers and other film professionals are taking their experience beyond the region and increasingly becoming involved in ambitious international projects.”
