Tallin Black Nights Opens a Virtual Cinema After Cinema Closures in Estonia
Our friends at Tallinn Black Nights (PÖFF) in Estonia have such a challenge, facing cinema chain closures this month due to the pandemic. They started with a kick-off event which will screen five films of the Women s Nights Film Festival. Every month, PÖFF s online cinema will be displaying a new selection of films from previous festival editions.
Due to the pandemic, we screened a large part of our programme online during last year s PÖFF and it turned out to be very popular. For the first time, those who live far from the cities Tallinn and Tartu had the opportunity to take part in the festival and this is what really inspired us, said the festival director Tiina Lokk.
