Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) has announced its First Feature Competition titles.
The selection includes ten world premieres and eight international premieres in competition, with two international premieres screening out of competition, among the slate of 20 debuts.
Among the premieres are Fisnik Maxville’s The Land Within, which sees the direct move from documentary to fiction with the tale of the exhumation of a mass grave. Also moving from docs to fiction is Ivan Gergolet, who brings The Man Without Guilt, which the festival says is "a thoughtful and challenging appraisal of moving past tragic events".
There's one UK-made film in the line-up, comedy-thriller Klokkenluider, directed by actor-turned-director Neil Maskell (Kill List), which will make its international bow after premiering at the London Film Festival this month. It tells the story of a hapless government whistleblower and his partner who are hiding out in a remote Belgian.
