The 15th annual Tallinn Black Nights presents 5 Czech films to the Estonian public
Prague, 21 November 2011 - Five contemporary Czech films will be presented at the international film festival in Tallinn, Estonia. They will be represented in three non-competitive sections. The 15th annual Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Baltics and is also the organiser of the Baltic Event coproduction market and the Black Market film market.
Estonian audiences can look forward to five coproduction films in the non-competitive FORUM, PANORAMA and 15 SELECTED TITLES sections. In the Panorama section films that predominantly won awards in the last year and which present a view of current trends and directions are shown. Audiences can look forward to the films Alois Nebel by director Tomáš Luňák, Martin Šulík's Gypsy and Identity Card from director Ondřej Trojan in this section.
Director Zuzana Liová's The House is among the 37 films presented in the Forum section and the 15 Selected Titles section presents films from directors that have been presented at least twice in the past at the festival in Tallinn. Director Christophe Honoré's coproduction film The Beloved fulfils this condition.
The Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival offers three competition sections from the main programme through the section on documentary and feature films from Baltic states to the special Estonian competition section. In the Focus section this year the organisers focused on Icelandic cinematography and the fact that since 2008 the number of films screened has increased even in spite of the economic crisis.
The 15th annual Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival will be taking place from 16 to 30 November 2011 and will become a unique event for international feature films, animated work and student films and films for youth. A film and coproduction market will also take place for film industry professionals. You can find more information at: http://2011.poff.ee/
