In cooperation with Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF), Estonian Centre for Architecture has created a special walking tour to introduce Estonian architecture as seen through the 'camera eye'. We will set out to explore different exciting areas and sites in Tallinn that have inspired film directors from Estonia and abroad over the course of time, hopefully also offering ideas and inspiration for future filmmakers.

The Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival is proud to have received A-list classification from the International Federation of Film Producers’ Associations (FIAPF). The announcement follows the most significant reform of FIAPF’s accreditation process since 2007.

The Estonian film world has lost one of its most significant creators – on 12 March, filmmaker Peeter Simm (1953–2026) passed away, leaving a deep and lasting mark on Estonian cinema.

Good news keeps coming — the latest is that Tiina Lokk has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Estonian Cultural Endowment.

For the sixth year, Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) partners with the Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes to showcase standout international feature films in post-production. PÖFF Goes to Cannes connects filmmakers with top sales agents, distributors, and festival programmers. Submission deadline: February 20, 2026.
