Festival Description:

PÖFF Shorts is the biggest short film and animation festival in the Baltics, an integral part of the FIAPF-accredited Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF). 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 worldwide. PÖFF Shorts hosts three internationally recognized competition programmes: the international competitions for live action and animation with their respective student competitions called New Talents, as well as the PÖFF Shorts National Competition designed to provide a platform for Estonian filmmakers and animators.

Alongside the competitions the festival presents an array of astonishing, thought-provoking, inspiring and challenging out-of-competition short film programmes. PÖFF Shorts is a European Film Academy (EFA) member and an Academy Award and BAFTA-qualifying festival.
