Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event are proud to announce full plans during the Marché du Film this May. Meet our team and let's make plans for the upcoming festival year of 2024!

FANTASTIC 7

Back for a second round at Marché du Film, PÖFF joins the ranks of the Fantastic 7 initiative - a connection of seven acclaimed genre film festivals.

Each festival presents one project that is in post-production or recently completed. The event draws a diverse audience of investors, distributors, sales agents, and genre film enthusiasts.

In 2024, PÖFF showcases Dog Of God, a Latvian adult folk tale directed by Raitis Ābele and Lauris Ābele and produced by Kristele Pudane and Giovanni Labadessa. The film tells a story about a 17th century Swedish Livonian village, where constant rain and drunkenness prevail. When a stolen relic sparks witchcraft accusations, an 80-year-old self-proclaimed werewolf named the Dog of God arrives with a mysterious gift: The Devil’s Balls.

The Fantastic 7 showcase will be held on 19 May 2024 | 12:00-13:50 (Palais K, Palais des Festivals)

GOES TO CANNES

Goes to Cannes enables film festivals or markets around the world to showcase a curated selection of original works-in-progress by most promising talents. The curator of the project, Triin Tramberg commented: "Goes to Cannes is a great opportunity to present projects in post-production at one of the largest film markets in the world. We always give priority to the filmmakers who have previously presented their projects at our festival's industry strand, Industry@Tallinn & Baltic event, for example at Co-Production Market, Script Pool or European Genre Forum."

The projects will be presented onsite on Saturday May 18 at Palais K, Cannes from 14:00 to 15:50 for the industry professionals around the world. All projects are without a sales agent and are looking for a festival premiere.
