Since 1997 the Black Nights Film Festival\u2014P\u00d6FF in Estonian\u2014has garnered a larger and more respected following each year. Since 2014 it has enjoyed A-list status from the International Federation of Film Producers Associations, which is the same classification as Cannes. This year\u2019s festival kicks off on Friday, 7 November, and runs for a full two weeks. It will show 252 feature films and 275 shorts from a most impressive 79 countries.<\/p>\n
As a testament to the festival\u2019s growing world renown, the directorial debut of James McAvoy<\/b> will take place on 8 November in Apollo Kino Solaris, presented by the A-list actor himself. He has appeared in over 60 films in his career, most notably for audiences in the \u201cX-Men\u201d series, and as the principal antagonist in M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s \u201cSplit and Glass\u201d, the sequel to the extremely popular film \u201cUnbreakable\u201d, starring Bruce Willis<\/b> and Samuel Jackson<\/b>, both of whom reprised their roles to work with McAvoy.<\/p>\n
Screenings will take place in more than eight cinema complexes in both Tallinn and Tartu. Attendance has grown steadily over the last years, with 2023 seeing 80,000 visitors, and another record-breaking 93,000 last year. We can expect over a hundred thousand for this year\u2019s film festival. To understand the popularity of P\u00d6FF, the Cannes Film Festival by comparison attracts approximately 35,000 each year.<\/p>\n
