In November 2021 Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event will present a one of a kind programme for production designers - a masterclass course PÖFF Black Room, taking place for the second time. The programme welcomes 10 production designers or film industry professionals, who are interested in expanding their knowledge on visual storytelling, and offers extensive knowledge and practical skills necessary to design visually impactful cinematic worlds.

Until September 15 the call for projects is open for three Works in Progress categories: Just Film Works in Progress (children and youth film projects), Baltic Event Works in Progress (Baltic and Finnish projects), International Works in Progress. During Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, taking place in November 2021, we aim to present the selected projects on a cinema screen in Tallinn as well as online during three sessions.

Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) together with Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, the European Film Academy (EFA) and FIPRESCI will work together to promote European Discovery nominated directors as part of PÖFF’s new Discovery Campus, starting from November 2021. The EFA and FIPRESCI bestow the European Discovery Award – Prix FIPRESCI on the best Debut Film every year within the framework of the European Film Awards.

Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival will take part in a Baltic Focus at this year’s Marché du Film in Cannes. Together with the Estonian Film Institute, Latvian Film Center and Lithuanian Film Centre, a variety of new projects, professionals and initiatives will be presented to the international industry and press.
