PÖFF Shorts is the biggest short film and animation festival in the Baltics.
The festival’s mission is to showcase the best animated and live action short films of all genres from cutting edge talents and bold visionaries across the world.
In addition to a variety of film screenings, the programme includes a selection of guest programmes, Q&As and special events made to bring filmmakers and audiences together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
As part of the FIAPF-accredited Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF), the festival joins together two internationally recognised, BAFTA-qualifying competition programmes for live action and animation.
Both programmes have their own Main Competition and Student Competition, as well as a joint PÖFF Shorts National Competition designed to provide a platform for Estonian filmmakers and animation directors.
Join us in the beautiful city of Tallinn, where the nights are dark and full of wonder!
