PÖFF proudly welcomes an outstanding lineup of international filmmakers and actors — from acclaimed auteurs to rising stars — coming together in Tallinn to share their stories, premiere new works, and celebrate global cinema. Across the festival, distinguished guests will be seen mentoring at Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, walking the Black Carpet, and joining world and international premieres on the big screen.
