A Full Team!
Nisimazine team has an extremely wide selection of films coming from the 20th Black Nights Film Festival, stretching from International Hollywood premieres, to low-key arthouse Estonian dramas.
With all its faults, the film has an additional layer in its portrayal of the teenage psyche but will eventually come to the age-old conclusion that it’s all gonna be alright in the end, a common message expressed through common means.
Kelly Fremon Craig’s The Edge of Seventeen by Ismene Daskarolis
A bit uneven piece of cinema, with background themes speaking louder and clearer than the main story.
Kadri Kõusaar’s Mother by Marko Stojiljković
A first feature that shows quite a distinctive handwriting, stays with you and makes you wish for a happy future for its main characters and the director’s next film.
Tereza Kotyk’s Home is Here by Marian Willhelm

Florian Hoffmeister’s The Have-Nots by Sabine Kues
