PÖFF Shorts 2026 — opening day

PÖFF's key-dates page lists its short-film and animation sub-festival for 10–18 November. The opening day is a separate editorial opportunity within the wider Black Nights programme.

Festival coverage can bring together programme information, filmmaker interviews and criticism rather than relying on a single promotional account. Different sources help explain the work, its context and the conversations it generates. Screening access, recorded discussions and trailers are separate formats, each with its own availability and territorial conditions for audiences. Keep its schedule separate from the main festival and look for filmmaker discussions that give context to the short-film selection.
