INTRODUCTION

The Tallinn Black nights Film Festival (BnFF, until 2001 the Black nights Film Festival) was first held in 1997. The Festival’s present extent was reached in 2002 (appendix 1).

The Main Program consists of competition programs and themed programs: - The International Competition Program EurAsia (since 2004); - Tridens Competition of Feature Debuts from the Baltic Sea and nordic Countries (first and second fea-

ture films from of the Baltic Sea region and nordic countries; from 2008-2011 Tridens Baltic Feature Film Competition; in 2012 Tridens Herring Debut Film Competition);

- north American Film Competition (in 2009–2012 US and Canadian Independent Film, in 2013 Mexican cinema was added).

In addition to the competition programs, the Main Program includes sub-categories such as Panorama, Fo-rum, BNFF Vitamin Boost, Selected Titles, documentary program and special programs that cover the filmmakers’, studio’s or genre’s retrospective and focuses on the film production of at least one country. The program’s main emphasis is on European film (appendix 2);

Baltic Event presents the newest Baltic feature films to international film and tele-vision professionals to develop cooperation projects, whereas the BnFF Industry Program has recently focused on the American and Asian markets, the most notable accomplishment being the signing of a cooperation memorandum between the Estonian and South Korean Film Institutes during the festival in 2013.

6. SUPPORTERS

The biggest contributors to the 2013 Festival were:

Estonian national and municipal organizations: The Estonian Ministry of Culture, Estonian Cultural Endowment, Tallinn Culture and Heritage Department, Estonian Film Institute, The Cultural Department of Tartu City Government, Council of Gambling Tax, Unitas Foundation, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Ministry of Social Affairs and Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, City Enterprise Department, Sports and Youth Department of Tallinn and the Estonian Olympic Committee. International Organizations: European Commission MEDIA Program

Companies: •Biggest sponsors: nordea Bank Estonia (the festival season main sponsor), AvaKosmos – Manometr

Entertainment (presenter), nordic Hotel Forum, Starman, Tridens, Tallinna Vesi, Toyota Baltic and Unison (festival’s golden sponsors);

•Biggest partners: TnT World Express, café Wabadus, restaurant Vapiano, Tallink, Viru Center, Piletilevi, Pariisi Vesi, Valio;

•Media partners: ERR, Delfi, TnT Film, magazine Mood.

Foreign Representatives in Estonia – embassies and cultural representatives: Embassy of Canada (the Festival’s country in focus, the biggest supporter), Embassy of the United States, French Institute, Embassy of Japan, Embassy of netherlands, Embassy of Sweden, Embassy of norway, Em-bassy of Spain, Embassy of Finland, Embassy of Germany, Goethe Institute, Hungarian Institute, Embassy of Ireland, Embassy of Italy, Embassy of Poland, Danish Embassy.

In addition to financial support, the embassies and culture representations gave considerable non-financial support (e.g. Embassy of Georgia, Embassy of Turkey and Armenian Estonian Community) that does not reflect in the BnFF income budget, due to the reason that they were mainly in form of help in transporting film copies and materials and events organized for the Festival’s guests.

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 and a longer introduction of the presenters and golden sponsors was brought out with a link directing to their web page on a sub page of the festival internet home page. In addition to the print and internet advertisement, adverti-sement clips were shown on 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. Excellent solutions were worked out by the season’s main sponsor nordea Bank and gold sponsor Starman, who linked their marketing message directly with BnFF prior to and during the festival. In order to fixate loyalty of clients and workers, the partners were offered to host closed scree-nings and receptions for clients and 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: •theMainFestivalProgramandsub-festivalawards;•servicesfortheFestival’sguests(hotels,transport,treatments);•transportoffilmcopies;•advertisement(electronicmediachannels);•audioandvideotechnicsandcomputersupply;•catering(cateringfortheteam,jurymembers,voluntaryworkersandguests);theFestival’sclubprogram.

7. FINANCINg

BnFF enables employment for 14 people all year round. In addition, 40 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 profit it and support to Esto-nia’s own small and medium sized enterpreneuers, who meet the Festival with favourable 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 di-rectly 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. Unexpectedly, the support from the City of Tallinn decreased, which is the main reason for the Festival’s un-successful attempt to decrease the negative profit in the desired volume.

INCOME DIAgRAM COSTS The cost budget underwent a further cut back prior to the Festival, which was inevitable due to the emer-gance of information of the decrease in financial support by the City of Tallinn. Unfortunately, it was impossi-ble to go through with all of the cut backs within the context of rising general prices.

One of the biggest costs was connected to the closing ceremony of the Festival, which was broadcasted on Estonian Television for the first time. In order to create a broadcast with good quality, many additional expens-es were inevitable, especially for creating a basis for future television broadcasts.

10.3 INDUSTRY@TALLINN2013 –BNFF INTERNATIONAL FILM INDUSTRY PROgRAM

25.–28.11.2013

Industry@Tallinn events consist of the Black nights Film Festival international film industry program and Baltic Event. Held for the fifth time, the purpose of Industry@Tallinn to build relationships between Estonian filmma-kers and filmmakers from neighboring countries as well as with the international film industry, in order to pro-mote co-production and distribution and develop local knowhow through meetings, screenings and works-hops with top film industry professionals. The event takes place in co-operation with Estonian Film Cluster.

For the second year the BnFF film industry program focused on Asian & north-American markets. Due to Estonia’s unique geographic location in the crossroads of north-American and Asian flight travels and BnFF’s good reputation among independent film makers in both regions. The program introduced co-production possibilities for professionals in the Baltics as well as presented production possibilities in the region to fo-reign producers and filmmakers.

Industry eventsThe Industry@Tallinn event started with location scouting for foreign producers to the Tallinn Open Air Mu-seum and Haapsalu City on 25th november (in co-operation with Haapsalu City and SA Haapsalu & Lää-nemaa County Museums). In addition to excursions, the foreign guests were presented trailers of Estonian production studios and location photos from all over Estonia. The opening event of Industry@Tallinn took place in the restaurant HETK in the evening.

BnFF film industry program followed on the next day in nordic Hotel Forum with panel discussions and mee-tings about Asian and American markets. Several acclaimed producers from Hollywood attended the events: the producer of the film “Drive” (nicholas Winding Refn) Garrick Dion; the Vice President of Production and Development at Mosaic Media Group Gloria Fan from the production company of films like “Batman: The Dark Knight” (Christopher nolan) and “Season of the Witch” (Dominic Sena); and TJ Park (South Korea), who produced “Snowpiercer” (Joon-ho Bong), the highest grossing Korean film of all time, shot on location in Prague, Czech Republic. He is also the representative of Korea’s Producers Guild (PGK), which includes over 200 Korea’s production houses. The goal was to mediate the expectations of Korean producers to European partners as well as create a contact with PGK to present co-operation info about Estonia and Estonian Film Cluster to 200 Korean producers.

One of the most significant events during Industry@Tallinn was the signing of a co-operation memorandum between the Estonian Film Institute and Korean Film Institute on 27th november. The agreement is significant in Europe as a whole, as it (Estonians after France Estonia) sets a way for other member states in creative industries. The memorandum assures Korea’s producers and film policy makers that Estonia and Estonian Film Cluster are reliable partners. The signing of the agreement was preceded by a panel discussion about co-production possibilities with Korea by the Korean delegation, a representative of Producers Guild and many producers.

As a new initiative, a co-operation between programmers of established film festivals were advanced through a new set of panels – Film Festival Programmer Talks. Established film festivals like Venice, Cannes, Toron-to, nippon Connection (Germany), Pusan (South Korea), Puchon (South Korea), Karlovy Vary participated in those discussions. Tallinn has the potential to become an end-of-the-year meeting place for festival program-mers. The goal was to establish a networking platform and create contacts between major festivals and local producers and thereby enhancing the better distribution of local films in major festivals.

For the second year the focus of Industry@Tallinn was targeted again on Estonian film music. In cooperation with Tallinn Music Week, Estonian Film Music Showcase was held on 26th november in Von Krahl Theatre, together with a pitching session from the musicians to the producers. The event was preceded by a pitching training session by leading musical agents Graham Walker (UK) and Chris Douridas (US). Estonian Film Music Showcase was also introduced by Estonian film music website (www.filmmusic.ee) for both locals and inter-nationals, for enthusiasts and professionals. The website that was opened in 2012 introduces over 30 active composers of film music together with examples of their work and contacts of their managers.

A detailed program of Industry@Tallinn is available on the web-page at: www.blackmarketonline.eu/demo/program-schedule. The profiles of panelists can be found at: www.blackmarketonline.eu/demo/speakers

Marketing and CommunicationThis time the SW marketing strategy was focused on the environment that the festival took place in – Tallinn University (TU). SW main objective in 2013 was to achieve a level of awareness and familiarity in the TU stu-dent and staff cirlcles (ca 11 000 people), which, in the evaluation of the organizers, was achieved.

In addition to targeting the students at Tallinn University, the aim was to acquaint SW to the students in Tallinn in general. For this purpose, the cooperation with the Federation of Estonian Student Unions was arranged, whose organizing of Tallinn Student Autumn Days included the first flashmob in Estonia, that had over 1000 participants. The flashmob was recorded by BFM students and was made into the festival’s trailer. Additio-nally a special event was held at club Rock Cafe, during which BFM student films were shown and SW was advertised. In 2014 even more attention will be given to the awareness about SW among Tallinn students and including them into the festival.

Members of the jury: Nathalie Jeung (France), Frederick Tsui (Hong Kong), Katre Valgma (Estonia)

BEST FILM LA JAULA DE ORO (Director Diego Quemada-Díez, Mexico) “Of all the films the jury has watched this film includes all the best elements from all the movies in the North American competition. The film represents a whole, a vision with a story projecting human condition. It’s a strong film about friendship, dreams and hope. “La jaula de oro” is raw, but poetic, it’s melodrama, but not sentimental, it’s a thriller, but it’s about real life, it’s about kids seen as grownups. It’s not only the story, which is good, but also the cinematography. It’s the director’s debut feature film, however it’s very mature, which makes the film even more impressive.”

STUDENT AND SHORT FILM FESTIVAL SLEEPWALKERS

gRAND PRIX (voted by the audience)MOnEY BACK, PLEASE (Director Even Hafnor, norway) “A brilliant depiction of an error in the system, shattering the foundations of society. With simple and stripped down script and flawless implementation, this smart little movie inspires thought on a wide spectrum. A documentary approach with a hidden agenda keeps viewers and participants unbiased.”

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION PROgRAMME (scholarship of 1000 euros from Starman)

Members of the jury: Louis Savy (UK), Sirkka Möller (Germany), Anna Hints (Estonia)

BEST FILM and gRAND PRIX NOMINATIONMYSTERY / MISTERIO (Director Chema García Ibarra, Spain)“This film draws you into its compelling world and shares the story of a dutiful mother, wife and neighbour who manages to fulfil her biggest dream – reaching for space and beyond. The director’s attention to detail, alongside the carefully composed framing and sparse storytelling, creates an almost perfect short film with its own unique universe.”

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FILM COMPETITION PROgRAMME (scholarship of 1000 euros from Levira)

Members of the jury: Louis Savy (UK), Sirkka Möller (Germany), Anna Hints (Estonia)

BEST FILMTHE MASS OF MEn (Director Gabriel Gauchet, UK)“A story told twice from two very different perspectives, revealing how a highly streamlined social system can turn one human being into a desperate, nervous wreck and another into a heartless, bureaucratic avenger. The director brings out the best in his actors, mastering the pace and tempo necessary to grip and keep the audience. Through its contemporary setting and believable plot, this short thriller should spark intense discussions about the state of our society and the reality we have created.”

42

BEST FILMPHOTO / FOTO (Directors Katrin Maimik, Jan Erik nõgisto, Estonia)“A yearning for love and intimacy revealed in an everyday story with well-developed characters and dreamy atmosphere.

SPECIAL MENTIONMAI (Director Maria Reinup, Estonia)“A well-built and focused film gem opening up slowly, but overwhelming by the last frame. A universal call for humanity, and reflection on the choices we make.”

BALTIC SEA COMPETITION PROgRAMME (scholarship of 1000 euros from ERR)
