“When we started the Black Nights Film Festival 25 years ago, we didn’t even have cinemas to screen our films in. It’s vitally important, in these challenging times for the culture business, to make sure film fans continue to visit cinemas and have that essential experience. The best way to do that is surely to show them the very best, most provocative and most inspiring films world cinema has to offer”, festival director Tiina Lokk said in a statement.
International press and professionals will have the opportunity to watch a lot from the competition programmes online, as well as in press screenings in Tallinn from 17 to 26 November 2021.
