About the event
The 30th Black Nights runs 6 to 22 November 2026 - seventeen days, which makes it one of the longest festivals in the European calendar. It opens at the Alexela Concert Hall, the Official and First Feature Competitions carry 24 films with 21 world premieres, and the competition screenings are concentrated between 13 and 19 November. Industry@Tallinn runs 9 to 20 November and PÖFF Shorts 10 to 18 November.
Not published as of 2026-10-19. The festival opens at the Alexela Concert Hall on 6 November 2026 and runs public screenings in Tallinn and Tartu, but the front page carries no ticket prices, no pass and no accreditation terms. Industry@Tallinn, the professional strand, runs separately from 9 to 20 November.
Not published as of 2026-10-19 beyond the opening venue, the Alexela Concert Hall. The festival plays cinemas in both Tallinn and Tartu, and the competition screenings are concentrated between 13 and 19 November, which is the useful planning signal: that week carries the premieres.
