World premiere of the Kyrgyz film "The Road to Eden" will be at the 24th Black Nights Film Festival, Tallinn
Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival announces the complete lineup of the Official Selection – Competition. Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) adds 17 films to the previously announced eight, with five of the new films having their world premieres in the Official Selection – Competition of the 24th edition of the festival.
Adding five world, eleven international and two European premieres to the selection, the programming team of Black Nights are very happy to announce it’s biggest and, in terms of premieres, the freshest lineup of this particular programme in its history.
Festival director Tiina Lokk commented: “It is a miraculous feeling to announce such a large, and geographically, stylistically, and culturally diverse programme. We are truly living in strange times as the situation in the industry has been constantly changing, putting extra stress on everyone working in this business. Our hearts go out to everyone who was not able to hold their festivals this year. We hope that by screening a bigger selection than usual, we will at least provide the filmmakers with a platform to exhibit their work. And what marvellous, artistically pleasing and culturally diverse work it is!”
The first screenings of the films will run from the 17th until the 27th of November. Ticket sales of the first physical screenings of the Official Selection – Competition will begin this Friday.
The 24th edition of Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival will be a hybrid event, running from the 13th until the 29th of November. The press and industry will have access to films and events regardless of their geographical location.
