Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) announces the line-up for Rebels with a Cause, an international competition programme screening 11 feature films, alongside a short films competition that includes 13 entries this year, split across two programmes. The features line-up includes six world premieres and five international premieres, with the Rebels with their Shorts collection also including four world-premiering shorts. Three features will screen out of competition.

Rebels with a Cause is PÖFF’s showcase for challenging independent productions, offering surprising perspectives, entrancing visuals and revelatory storytelling. Some come from experienced experimental masters, some are explosions of youthful creativity. All will leave a lasting impression. Both feature and short competitions will be judged by a jury composed of international film professionals to be announced later this week.

Commenting on this year’s selection, the programming team stated that “The very best works of art push boundaries. They dare us to think about the world in which we live. They challenge our traditional views. They show us that there are more things in heaven and Earth. The shorts in the Rebels With A Cause programme embody these ideals with their bold and provocative techniques.” They continued, “But while these films often revel in the surrealistic, it is perhaps appropriate – in a time in which the real world often seems to be nonsensical – that they deal with many important and pressing issues of the day. These films will take part in Rebels With A Cause, a competition section dedicated to films that defy the traditional modes of filmmaking. The selection provides a mixture of new filmmakers who will lead the way in cinema over the coming years and more established talents. Each film will be eligible for the honorific prizes chosen by the Rebels With A Cause jury members.”

For the first time, most programmes also have their own lead curators – with regular Rebel Javier Garcia Puerto heading this programme, Triin Tramberg handling First Features, Edvinas Pukšta on Baltic Competition duty, Helmut Jänes leading Midnight Shivers and Tiit Tuumalu responsible for DOC@PÖFF.

Israeli film will be in Focus in this year’s 26th edition, alongside Showcase of Brazilian cinema. The festival runs from November 11-27, 2022.
