INTRODUCTION

Festival’s present extent was reached in 2002 (appendix 1).
The structure of BNFF is:
BNFF is an international film festival that consists of the Main Program, three sub-programs, international film
industry program Industry Days and film- and co-production market Baltic Event.
The mission of BNFF is:

The Main Program consists of competition programs and themed programs:

Beginning from 2014, the International Federation of Film Producers Associations FIAPF (Federation Internationale des Associations de Producteurs de Films) has accredited the Black Nights Film Festival as
a festival with an internationally certified competition program. Along with this status, BNFF has been established as the 15th festival, which can host an international competition program with films around the
world rather than the previous specialized EurAsia competition progam.
•Tridens Competition of Feature Debuts from the Baltic Sea and Nordic Countries
•Tridens Estonian Film Award

In addition to the competition programs, the Main Program includes sub-categories such as Panorama, Forum, BNFF Vitamin Boost, Selected Works, Screen International Critics Choice, documentary program

•Children and Youth Film Festival Just Film (JF, since 2001) – comprises of the children and youth film
festival and retrospectives of a filmmaker or genre.
•The International Film Industry Program Industry@Tallinn assembles the BNFF international film industry panel discussions and trainings (since 2009) as well as the Baltic Events film and co-production market events (BE,
since 2002). The aim is to extend relations between filmmakers from Estonia and neighboring regions as well as
the general international film industry, to promote co-production and distribution possibilities and to expand the
knowledge of local filmmakers by top professionals via meetings, screenings, trainings and seminars. Baltic Event
presents the newest Baltic feature films to international film and television professionals and develops collaboration projects, whereas the BNFF Industry Program has focused on the American and Asian markets.
•Black Market Online (BMO, since 2010) is a web site targeted mainly at film professionals and possible
buyers, giving an overview of the regional film production, work in progress, film distribution and film industry contacts in the Baltic and Nordic countries, Russia, Middle- and Southeast Asian regions all year
round. The works are safely accessible for watching on the web page.
The patrons of BNFF are in rotation foreign ambassadors that are residing in Estonia. The patron in 2014 was

Sponsor’s Main Output in the Festival.
For sponsors, the main distinctive feature of supporting the festival is the opportunity to join their brand to
BNFF – the biggest yearly international culture event in Estonia, which is not available for purchasing from any
media or marketing agencies. Collaboration with BNFF is unique and gives the sponsors a chance to meet
real people, to socialise with them directly and to communicate their values, services and products. The main
traditional marketing outputs of BNFF are:
•CATALOGUE (800 pcs. , 300p., bilangual EST+ENG, colour print) – the most thorough descriptions of the
films and the festival, coloured print
•MAGAZINE (24 000 pcs., 144 p., bilingual EST+RUS, colour print) – thorough descriptions of films and
events, news, sponsor articles, interviews and entertaining information
•POSTERS/OUTDOOR ADVERTISEMENT
•HOME PAGE (ca. 300 000 visitations in November)
•SOCIAL MEDIA (ca. 20 000 followers on Facebook, Instagram)
The supporters of the Festival were promoted in the catalogue through one or two page advertisement, the
Festival presented the supporting enterprises’ logos in all of the printed materials (catalogue, schedule brochure, posters), the companies’ web banners and logos were shown on the BNFF web page.
Logos of the grand sponsors, presenters and gold sponsors were exhibited in outdoor media and a longer
introduction was brought out with a link directing to their web page on a sub page of the internet home page.
All of the representatives of grand sponsors had a word in the magazine’s front pages. In addition to the print
and Internet advertisement, advertisement clips were shown on the large screen of the BNFF stage at the
atrium of Solaris Centre, LCD screens in cinema foyers and BNFF information points during the festival. For
additional coverage in advertisement the presenters and golden sponsors were offered special solutions for
the Festival areas during BNFF. As examples, the large Starman LCD screen for film trailers and presenting
the program, the exhibition of the BNFF special model of Toyota Yaris, and a drinking stand by Tallinna Vesi,
which were all displayed at the festival centre in Solaris Shopping Centre. That was also the location for
Nescafé’s Dolce Gusto coffee selling point, where festival visitors could get coffee with a cheap price when
14
showing their festival tickets. The invitations of the opening and closing gala were created in collaboration
with Nordea Bank, the closing ceremony’s reception at the Nordic Forum Hotel was provided by the hotel’s
restaurant. In addition to previous years’ BNFF wine by Tridens AS, the Põhjala Brewery brewed a special
beer for this year’s festival – ‘ULG’. The festival guests had the opportunity to take part in Dr. Hauschka’s
treatments, the caterer of the volunteers - restaurant Vapiano - offered a menu with the festival’s name and
special prices, and the caterer of jury members - Reval Café - hosted special evening events at their cafés. In
order to fixate loyalty of clients and workers, the partners were offered to host closed screenings and receptions for clients as well as their own partners and they had the exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets one
day before the official ticket sale started.
In addition to financial support, there were a large number of non-financial supporters, who were categorized
as follows:
•The Main Festival and sub-festivals awards;
•Services for the festival’s guests (catering, housing, transport, treatments, clothing collections);
•Transport of film copies;
•Audio and video technics and computer supply;
•Catering (for the festival’s jury members, volunteers and foreign guests).
BNFF and Charity Work
In 2014 the long time collaboration with Tartu University Hospital’s Children’s Clinic continued. Funding for
charity was raised through direct donations as well as selling BNFF souvenirs and contributor tickets. The
money raised will be used for creating descriptive subtitles for children with poor visual perception for Estonian children’s films.

7.3 INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL SLEEPWALKERS
The Black Nights Film Festival’s sub-festival Sleepwalkers (SW) was held 18th–22nd November 2014 at Baltic Film and Media School of Tallinn University (BFM). The festival was held for the 15th time, the co-host for
the last three years has been BFM.
What makes the festival unique is that it is organized under the leadership of BFM by Tallinn University as
a whole, with the involvement of students and teaching staff as volunteers or crewmembers. An important
aspect of Sleepwalkers is cooperation – between film schools, film students and the film industry.
The center point of the festival was the Nova Building of Tallinn University’s Baltic Film and Media School.
Altogether 19 screenings took place in the SuperNova cinema hall and the television studio specially designed into Sleepwalkers Cinema for the duration of the festival. In addition, the Festival’s films were shown
at the Tallinn University of Technology, Viljandi Secondary School, Jõgeva Secondary School, Tallinn German
Secondary School, Valga and as a part of the BNFF program in Tallinn at Artis cinema and at Tartu Electrical
Theatre (Tartu Elektriteater).
Mission
The international short film festival Sleepwalkers brings together filmmakers, film enthusiasts, professionals
in the field and film students under the meaning of sleepwalker in order to increase the interest in short film.
Populating the short film is important because the limited time that the short film presents brings a challenge
to visualize an idea briefly and specifically. A well-executed film gives testimony to the filmmaker’s professionalism. The name Sleepwalkers is based on the idea of sleepwalking, in which the story passes as a short film
of the same length as a dream. In the given context, the filmmaker is the sleepwalker. The Festival’s mission
is to recognize once a year the short film creators, whose visions are the most professional.
Sleepwalkers brings together a diverse selection of world-class student and short films. In addition, the festival week fits workshops and special events.
Film Program
This year the Festival received over 1500 films from 60 countries. 181 short films from 37 countries made
it to the Main Program.

7.4 BNFF INTERNATIONAL FILM INDUSTRY PROGRAM INDUSTRY@TALLINN
24th – 28th November 2014
Industry@Tallinn is the winter seasons fastest developing film industry conference and business event. It
combines BNFF’s international industry-oriented networking, trainings and showcase program and the regions biggest film and coproduction market Baltic Event.
In co-operation with the Estonian Film Commission, the event is held for the sixth time. The purpose of Industry@Tallinn has become to build relationships between filmmakers from Estonia and neighboring regions
and the international film industry, and to promote co-production and distribution possibilities and develop
local knowhow through meetings, screenings, trainings and seminars with top film industry professionals. In
addition, Industry@Tallinn presents the explosively developing media industry start-ups and new technologies and also develops potential talents of genre films.
In 2014 the week long program focused on the rising field of television production and collaboration opportunities with the American indie subsidiary, introducing film distribution characteristics of Chinese and EastAsian markets, improving producers’ know-how on post-production subjects through collaborative surveys
(special effects made in Estonia for the indie film ‘Spring’, 2014) and light was cast upon the back stages of
business models of studios and pavilions. Also held were the Estonian location advertising day, the traditional
film music showcase, and a festival day in order to celebrate BNFF’s joining to FIAPF’s category of festivals
with an international competition program, also a creative camp for young filmmakers of genre films European
Genre Forum Pilot 2014 in collaboration with festivals like Night Visions (Helsinki) and Fantastic Zagreb (Zagreb) and agency Screen Division (Paris).
For the first time promotion collaboration was made in order to introduce the Estonian media sector companies, including companies like Airborne, Digital Sputnik, Herzog Studios, Münchhausen Productions and
Orbital Vox Studios.
Events
Industry@Tallinn began the 24th with location scouting in Ida-Virumaa in collaboration with the Viru Film Fund
and Münchhausen Productions. In addition to the excursions, Estonian production and funding possibilities
were introduced. Industry@Tallinn was started off with a networking evening at club Hetk, where the events
partner companies Airborne, Herzog Studios and Orbital Vox presented their work.
During the next days, panel discussions and meetings continued at Nordic Hotel Forum. The most notable
producers and productions that attended were the creative director Jessica Switch from the major Canadian
studio Lionsgate (The Hunger Games), talent agency ICM Partners agents Jeff Barry and Nigel Meojas, producer Katie Holly and director Alexandre Philippe. The current situation and characteristics of the Chinese
and East-Asian markets were discussed in a conversation round with Hong Kong’s largest distribution company Distribution Workshop and the executive manager Jeffrey Chani of China’s remarkable production and
distribution company Bona Film Group, director Susan Chae of Pusani’s project market APM and the international department director Judy Ahniga of Koreas major production and distribution company Showbox.
The focus point of the post-production showcase was the possibility of collaboration between minor studios
and international post-production companies, discussed by the New York post-production giant Lion Iron,
Helsinki’s PoPostControl, Estonian special effects studio FrostFX and directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin
Benson, whose recent film ‘Spring’ (2014) special effects were created in Estonia.
The studio’s business model panel lead by the digital campaign director of the Oscars John Heinsen revealed
possibilities of creating a internationally competitive film studio pavilion in Estonia with the examples of Chicago’s Resolution studio, Light Iron and Luxembourg’s studio. In collaboration with Baltic Event, a digital
distribution panel with Europe’s largest iTunes integrator Under The Milky Way was focused on new strategies
and possibilities in digital distribution.
In 2014, substantial changes were made in the events format. As a new addition, the regional media technology startup and post-production market Black Nights Digital Corner was added to the program, under which
Airborne camera drones and Digital Sputnik’s led-based light-solutions were demonstrated at the Nordic
Hotel Forum Conference Centre.
24
Also, the annual Estonian film music showcase received a new look. In co-operation with Tallinn Music
Week and the Estonian Music Development Center (EMDC) the Swedish music producer Rasmus Thord,
music producer and consultant Michael Pärt and Universal Music Sweden’s representative Rebecca Edwards
trained composers, music and film producers and advertisement companies on music licensing and sales.
10-minute speed networking sessions were arranged between composers and producers.
The Film music showcase was unusual due to the location of the event - Studio 1 of the Estonian National
Broadcast Radio House, where the Georg Ots Symphony Orchestra, Prezioso String Quartet, Estonian TV
Girls’ Choir and the choir Dear Brother performed film music by Pärt Uusberg, Ardo Ran Varres, Janek Murd,
Vaiko Eplik for foreign producers and guests. The event was broadcasted online by the National Broadcast.
In order to celebrate BNFF’s joining of the prestigious FIAPF category of festival’s with an international competition program, Tallinn was visited by program managers of the world’s top festivals, whose conversational
rounds were assembled under the ‘Festival Day’ on the 27th November. Festival representatives of Berlin,
Karlovy Vary, Shanghai, Locarno, San Sebastián, Toronto, Varssavi, Göteborg etc. discussed program politics, sponsor relations and the festival’s roles in the creative industry. In Organizing the panels, collaboration
was made between managers of Nordea Bank partner relations as well as the managers of the European
Union’s Creative Europe, who took part of the discussions.
The biggest break through in 2014 was launching the training and pitching program European Genre Forum
Pilot 2014 for young genre film professionals in collaboration with Night Visions and Fantastic Zagreb film festivals and the agency Screen Division from Paris. The event was supported by the Goethe Institute, through
what the young filmmakers went through a pitching and script development and funding consulting program
and presented film projects in work to a full house. EGF received a lot of attention among the industry as well
as foreign press and will continue in 2015 with a satellite event in Helsinki and Zagreb.

The industry was supported by the film industry content management platform industrytallinn.com developed
by the startup NGO BMO which was founded in 2010 and grew out from the festival. Access to the platform
was granted for everyone accredited to the film market for getting acquainted with the event program and
acquiring limited access to materials of new films and projects in development. The website, with it’s technology used among others by the Estonian Film Institute and Helsinki’s film market Finnish Film Affair, also allows
secure watching of new productions. The BNFF video library targeted at industry guests located at Nordic
Hotel Forum was also based on the website.
Marketing and Media
In 2013 the name of the event was changed for marketing reasons – Industry @ Tallinn – in order to emphasize
the region the forum takes place in and to increase the brand equity internationally, 2014 continued with the
same brand.
In international communication started from September, BNFF’s recently acquired status as FIAPF’s category
of festival’s with an international competition program and the memorable atmosphere of Tallinn in the winter
season was taken into focus, which was the basis for advertisement in the main industry publications (Screen
International, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety).
25
Industry@Tallinn sent out weekly newsletters, which introduced the festival and the Industry program, performers and Tallinn as a destination for film tourism and production. In addition the event’s special page
functioned on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/TallinnIndustryDays).

Twitchfilm platforms. The Festival and industry program were extensively covered by Euronews, Estonian
National Broadcast, and First Baltic Channel.

8. FINANCING
BNFF enables employment for 14 people all year round. In addition, almost 100 extra employees are hired on
a per project basis. In addition to paid employees, around 300 volunteers work for the festival.
In addition to creating new employment opportunities, BNFF shares most of its personal profit and support to
Estonia’s own small and medium sized entrepreneurs, who meet the Festival with favorable terms and help in
every way organize the biggest annual cultural event in Estonia.
The total sum of 296 000 euros was granted as support for BNFF from the state budget. During the year,
BNFF will repay over 180 000 euros through direct state taxes.
INCOME
As a positive development, it can be noted that ticket sales and sponsor income were higher than predicted.
These developments can be directly connected to the effective work of the BNFF team (ticket sales are directly influenced by the quality of the program and by marketing). The sponsor income is directly influenced
by constant well keeping of sponsor relations, by attracting new sponsors and improving the attractiveness
of the Festival for marketing partners).
The support of embassies and foreign representational offices/cultural centers were substantially larger,
reaching up to the results of 2010, after the decrease in between.
Support from the State Budget and from the Cultural Endowment stayed the same.
Support from the City of Tallinn has not recovered and stays at the amount of 22 500 euros.

COSTS
2014. Cut-backs of general and constant expenses were managed to implement, which helped the festival’s
financial sustainability. The necessary cutbacks were implemented so, that the festival’s foundation would not
suffer a loss, and that the festival could still bring the world’s top films to Estonia.
One of the increased costs was connected to the festival’s program. Film rights get more expensive each year
and due to the fact that BNFF was in addition to the regular cinemas also in Viimsi and Pärnu as well, more
film screenings rights had to be bought.

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers have a very important role to play in making BNFF a success, which is why BNFF has involved
volunteers since 1997. The contribution of volunteers has become essential for the festival and they have
become full members of the team.
In 2014 the 18th BNFF had 298 volunteers involved in festival work. The number of volunteers was 244 in
Tallinn, 7in Pärnu and 47 in Tartu.
From this years volunteers, more than half had been part of the team in previous years (in total, more than 600
volunteer applications were submitted). All of the volunteers in Tartu had worked for BNFF in previous years.
Such a huge interest in applying brings delight. Also, the fact that a large number of previous participants
return year after year and want to contribute in organizing the festival is wonderful.
The BNFF volunteers work in different areas:
• Festival customer service at cinemas (ticket control, information work, ticket sales, surveys)
•Volunteers responsible for the guests (guest attendants, guest information workers, guest chauffeurs,
video library administrators);
•Technics and logistics (film logistics, technical assistants at cinemas, subtitlers);
•Office (office helpers and assistants, data entry operators);
•Special Events (hosts, photographers).
33
The BNFF volunteers have to be at least 16 years old and have values that match the festival team’s values.
Adding to the good feeling that volunteering brings, other motivators include a festival pass, training and
events for volunteers, a great and energetic team with similar interests, new friends and work experience.
Also important, is the information that volunteers give after the festival, which helps us analyse the work and
considering their proposals improve volunteer work and organisation of the festival.

10. SUMMARY AND FUTURE PLANS
The 18th BNFF had altogether over 77 600 visits and the country in focus was Poland.
•Beginning from 2014, the International Federation of Film Producers Associations FIAPF (Federation Internationale des Associations de Producteurs de Films) has accredited the Black Nights Film Festival as
a festival with an internationally certified competition program. Along with this status, BNFF has been established as the 15th festival, which can host an international competition program with films around the
world rather than the previous specialized EurAsia competition progam. Previously, BNFF belonged to the
FIAPF specialized competitive event category. Since 2014, the festival acquired the status of a non-specialized competitive festival. Belonging to the same category with festivals such as Cannes, Warsaw,
Berlin, Venice, Tokyo, Karlovy Vary, Moscow and others, gives a chance to broaden the festival geographically.
•Using Blu-Ray as a film-carrying device was minimized at all of the Festival’s cinemas. More than 99 % of
the films were shown in DCP (Digital Cinema Package) format.
•The BNFF marketing communication was refreshed. For the first time a bilingual (EST+RUS) BNFF magazine was published.
•The highly popular Gourmet Cinema sessions were continued.
•A new logistic and back-up system in correspondence with the DCP format was worked out in collaboration with the Estonian Digicentre.
•Subtitles were made available in all of the screening halls of the main program.
•For the first time there was an ecumenical jury.
•Digital Corner, the fair for new technology, was held for the first time.
Future Plans
•Making BNFF even more attractive to foreign guests, so that it would be a good or the main reason to
travel to Tallinn
•Increase the amount of sponsor support in financing BNFF, incl. sub-festivals and the Industry program..
•Looking for new and fresh outputs in order to reach specific target audiences, which needs complementing the marketing and communication team.
•To further develop marketing and communication activities through the channels of sponsors and partners.
• Focusing the marketing communication more on the competition program films, that are unique basing on
the new so called A-category.
•To complement the BNFF festivals’ activities through developing the „BNFF Outside of the Cinema Halls“
concept.
•Creating a BNFF’s own membership card and client/film fan loyalty program, which could enable planning
and showing films suiting to the visitors wishes.
•Marketing and communicating BNFF’s main program, sub-festivals and Industry events as one unit in
local and export markets, more than they have been up till now.
•Developing a system for managing the DCP format.
•Increasing the number of subtitled films at least 2/3 times through new solutions.
•Continuing developing the Festival’s domain software Eventival emanating from the needs of BNFF, also
developing a new BNFF home page.
•Successfully carrying out different innovative multimedia projects.
•Developing a press center.
• Re-organizing the work of the program team and the system of acquiring films considering the A-category
competition program necessities.
• Shaping the BNFF magazine into a periodical given out four times a year, publishing articles on film events
that take place here and abroad.
•Developing am international two-day film industry development strategy conference in the Industry Day
format, which would include problems of distributors and festival managers, the digital market and high
tech development tendencies in film.
•Developing Digital Corner into a regional fair.

SUMMARY AND SHORT ANALYSIS OF MEDIA RELEASES
In 2014 festival-themed articles, introductions and news were published in all of the substantial media publications in Estonia. More than a thousand BNFF entries altogether were published in four months time from
September till December, further adding entries by bloggers As a positive development we can consider
the activation of Maaleht and Müürileht comparing to previous years, also the growing interest of websites,
whose importance is growing year after year. From the negative aspects, the unenthusiastic response of Delfi
and the entertainment website Publik.ee and Elu24 should be brought out, it is necessary to produce more
news for them ourselves.
In addition to written media, BNFF got notable reflection in Estonian television and radio channels. With the initiative of ETV2 the festival-themed daily news clip “Kaheksa ja pool” (“Eight and a Half) was definitely a breakthrough for the future, in order to make the BNFF daily news diary even more easily accessible in the near future.
One of the most important subjects that attracted the media to BNFF in August-September was the news
of the festival joining the 15 most significant film festivals in the world. Local media channels published the
news, but it is worth mentioning that it reached international media, being published by many substantial film
publications such as Variety, Filmneweurope, Screendaily, Filmfestivals and many others.
In October, the hottest BNFF related news were the modified press conference releases of the festival’s Polish focus, announcing the Screen International critics choice program and all three international competition
programs. Also brought forward were news of films screened at BNFF that were nominated at the Oscars as
well as international premieres of BNFF.
During the festival in November, more attention was placed on certain films and news related to the festival
guests. Positive attention in written media as well as television and radio was placed on many festival guests
(Jerzy Stuhr, Isaach De Bankole, Krzysztof Zanussi and others), but most of all the Swedish actor Mikael
Persbrandt who raised a scandal by not appearing at the press conference, who drew attention in Danish and
Swedish media above all. The news of the famous actor being drunk and not showing up at the screening
quickly grew into the most read heading from the BNFF related articles, from other yellow press the readers
attention was caught by BNFF’s opening and closing gala photo galleries where the guests’ clothing and
president’s appearance without his wife drew attention.
According to the press release opening percent the most read news in Estonian was the 24th Nov released report of Mikael Persbrand’s possible non-show at a screening that was organized for him, from news in English
the news with the most clicks was the 25th Nov news the Estonian Film Music introduction event organized
in collaboration by BNFF and Tallinn Music Week. Also the news with information about festival awards and
statistics were one of the most read.
From specific films, the most attention drew the ones related to festival guests – “Lucifer” (Gust van den
Berghe), “Spring” (Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead), “Foreign Body” (Krzysztof Zanussi), “Next Goal Wins”
(Mike Brett, Steve Jamison), “Warsaw 44”(film troupe) etc. More talked about films that were not represented
with guest included “Red Army”, “Advanced Style”, “Boyhood”, “Birdman”, “Force Majore” etc. All of the
named films were also some of the most watched films during the festival.
Regarding the programs, the media’s most published were the Fashion Cinema program and Screen International’s critics choice. Positively, the BNFF Vitamin program has been positively established as a program
that does not need that much advertisement anymore. Comparing to past years, the publicity around the
international program was lower, it’s future representing to the media and through that the audience is now
up to the festival’s own promotion work.
In conclusion, the large number of entries in press shows a continuing interest towards BNFF and the image,
despite all problems, is still positive. According to BNFF marked entries, the festival is if not the highest, then
definitely one of the most published event, with a lot of interest shown towards it.
What caught the eye from the negative side was little promotion of films related to guests and not being able to find
new films by the media or public due to media work. The near future media politics will take the direction towards
preventing promotion, in order to make new and unknown films more attractive, so that they would be written
about and published. BNFF is able and knows how to show itself as a strong and purposeful organization, which
gives constant information to the media and is able to acknowledge its oversights. Not including the brief publication of previous subjects, it is possible to be content with the festival’s media publicity and will give it a grade “B”.
