Eighteen films in production will be presented at the Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event Work in Progress sessions on 26 and 27 November. The works in both Baltic Event, showcasing Baltic and Finnish projects, and International Works in Progress will be competing for the same awards this year – the Post Production Award from Post Control, a Helsinki-based high-end post-production house, to the tune of €10,000, and the Baltic Event Works in Progress Award, which is worth €3,000.

The jury comprises cinematographer and festival curator Dhanushka Gunathilake (Sri Lanka), distributor Debra Liang (Level K, Denmark), and journalist and festival programme Alissa Simon (Palm Springs IFF and Chicago IFF, USA).

The Baltic Event Works in Progress programme will present a selection of ten promising projects from the Baltics and Finland, whereas International Works in Progress will showcase eight projects from around the world. For the first time, Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event will be showing off five children’s and youth film projects in the newly launched Just Film Works in Progress category (Just Film being the children’s and youth films sub-section of the Black Nights Film Festival).
