Since 2018, PÖFF Shorts has been working with artists around Estonia to give the festival a visual identity.

The 9th BPF will invite selected participants as well as industry professionals from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, alongside guest country Sweden.

From November 16-24, the international short film and animation festival PÖFF Shorts will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Black Nights Film Festival.

Tallinn Black Nights fulfils its 2020 pledge to donate a part of its film submission fees toward the preservation of local forests, alongside Estonian green tech company Single.Earth and the newly formed forest fund Estonian Wildlife.

Filmmakers and scriptwriters from all three Baltic countries are being encouraged to apply for the BALTIC SHORTS RESIDENCY, the third edition of which will take place in Lithuania from 1-20 June 2021. Deadline for application is April 18, 2021.
