To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) invites everyone to share their memories.

If you have a favorite memory of your most memorable PÖFF experiences, unforgettable moments, or films, or if you still have old photographs, video clips, tickets, posters, annotated festival catalogues, or any other PÖFF-related memorabilia, we would love for you to share them with us. By doing so, you will help preserve the history of the festival.

We are also eager to receive personal stories about what PÖFF has meant in your life and the traditions you associate with the festival—from how you choose your films to your own "festival survival guide."

We are especially looking for memories and photographs from PÖFF's early years, particularly from the time when the festival was held at the Sakala Centre, as unfortunately very little material from that period has been preserved.

The collected materials will become part of the PÖFF30 Archive, and selected contributions will be published on our website and other festival channels, allowing us to look back together on how it all began and how far we have come.

Please send your materials to poff@poff.ee no later than 31 July.

Thank you for helping keep the story of PÖFF alive!
