National Geographic and PÖFF – United by a Belief in the Power of Stories

National Geographic and PÖFF share a spirit of curiosity, a passion for discovery, and a commitment to bringing meaningful stories to audiences. We believe that film has the power to broaden our horizons, inspire empathy, and deepen our understanding of both our planet and the people who inhabit it.

National Geographic tells stories about nature, science, history, and extraordinary human journeys. Working alongside explorers, scientists, photographers, and filmmakers, we bring the diversity of our world to audiences, shining a light on subjects that deserve attention and deeper exploration. PÖFF brings these stories to the big screen, giving them the opportunity to connect with curious and engaged audiences.

For us, cultural partnerships bring a deeper sense of purpose to our everyday work. They offer an opportunity to contribute to experiences that stay with people long after the credits roll. Beyond exceptional films, our memories of PÖFF are filled with warm encounters and laughter-filled conversations with Tiina Lokk. It is moments like these that make a long-standing partnership feel personal and truly meaningful.

For Sille Ruus, PR and Marketing Manager at Disney Baltics, culture plays an essential role in shaping and preserving a nation's identity and continuity. Film allows us to capture the spirit of our time, explore different lived experiences, and discover common ground even where we might initially see only differences.

We believe that cultural partnerships will play an increasingly important role in the future of business. By helping meaningful stories reach wider audiences, companies can support cultural life while building lasting connections with communities.

At this year's 30th edition of PÖFF, National Geographic presents the film Time and Water. We invite film lovers to join us in cinemas from 6 to 22 November to discover new perspectives, reflect on the stories that move us, and share the magic of cinema.
