Night Cinema
At Night Cinema screening we are showing films from 3 cassettes:
Vitamins
‘Love Is The Drug’ sang Roxy Music. Now love Is lots of drugs (well, vitamins) as this year’s Vitamin Pills all revolve around love and – on occasion – loneliness. They show a world where relationships are hard and isolation can prove crippling. But they also show how togetherness works, and how – just once a while – we can better people.
And don’t fear because the Vitamin doses will still provide you with plenty of silliness, quirkiness and general insanity that many have got used to from this selection and it will be a trip to talk about. Just maybe this time you can find someone’s hand to hold at the same time.
After Hours Ani Coctail
Indie animation shorts invariably offer an exciting mixup of things, in which familiarity toys with unpredictability. Our AniCocktail films do nothing but confirm this. Balkan troubles are looked upon from the viewpoint of a small kid; flies travel for a long-distance trip, and Ian McKellen's voice enters the stage in drag. Our characters get their turbulences; the passing of time, identity, sex, and relationships, but also our overall natural environment are here depicted in a manner both enticing and true to experience. And with a good bit of music.
HÕFF@Shorts
Every year in April, the quaint Estonian seaside town of Haapsalu becomes a playground for genre film lovers with HÕFF – the Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival.
At PÖFF Shorts, audiences will get the chance to see a selection of some of the finest – and shortest – scary films screened in Haapsalu, an opportunity that is scary and thrilling in equal measure.
HÕFF is a member of the Méliès International Festivals Federation, an organisation dedicated to celebrating and supporting genre film of European origin. The Federation annually awards a Méliès d'or prize for the best European fantastic feature film and short film.
In Kai Art Center is the main exhibition of the 9th Tallinn Applied Art Triennial The Fine Lines of Constructiveness that you can visit during the PÖFF Shorts Night Cinema.
