LIVE FROM THE INDUSTRY@TALLINN & BALTIC EVENT Two young Uyghur women are entirely different in character, and yet equally fixated on uncovering the meaning behind this elusive sentiment called “love”. One of them is romantic, often lost in the world of melodramas, yearning to experience love as it is depicted on-screen, while her friend pursues it in the real world, navigating dating apps and messy encounters.

FILM REVIEW WORKSHOP: tribute to the fading culture and identity of rural communities seeks to memorialise the fleeting beauty of life – from the PÖFF Shorts section of the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival Accepting someone you deeply love for who they truly want to be is one of the most universal human challenges.

LIVE FROM THE INDUSTRY@TALLINN & BALTIC EVENT Tina is a film director. She tries to convince Pero to act in her next movie. But the young thespian has a problem: every time he embodies a new character, the personality traits creep into his real life. Slovenian director Damjan Kozole often breaks the fourth wall, inviting the spectator into this informal “recruitment”. The entire story takes place a night, in a small cafe and bar. The location becomes a character in its own right.
