The 30th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) will place Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania at the heart of its 2026 edition with a special Focus on Baltics. Taking place from 6–22 November 2026, the anniversary edition will bring the latest and the best of Baltic films to international audiences while creating new opportunities for the region’s filmmakers and industry professionals.

Without volunteers, there would be no Black Nights Film festival (PÖFF). It's that simple. Therefore, PÖFF is looking for helping hands to organise one of the largest film events in Northern Europe.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival has invited acclaimed filmmaker and artist Priit Pärn to create this year’s visual identity—the first in the festival’s history to be designed by a filmmaker.

Apply for the 2026 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival internship programme! Opportunities range from design department and social media to TV content production. The application is open until September 7.

As PÖFF prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival is entering into a new partnership with technology company Introduct Group to further enhance the festival experience before, during, and after the event. Introduct will become PÖFF's Official Development Partner and Grand Partner.
