About

Black Nights Film Festival (aka PÖFF – Pimedate Ööde Filmifestival) takes place annually at the end of November in Tallinn, Estonia. It is the only FIAPF-accredited competitive feature film festival in Northern Europe.

Black Nights Film Festival holds four competitive sections, as well as non-competitive sections, altogether more than 200 features and documentaries, showcasing new discoveries and a selection of the best picks from other film festivals, with special programs for various sub-genres. Due to the current situation in the world, the festival also reserves the right to organize the festival online.

The festival consists of a cluster of events: the main festival, sub-festivals for youth and children’s films, short films, and animations, along with an extensive industry program, turning Tallinn into a buzzing, yet a relaxed celebration of film culture and attracting an attendance of more than 90,000, visited by nearly 1400 film professionals and press from around the world in 2020.

Telefilm Canada recognizes selection to this festival for applications to its Participation to international festivals and events support program.
