The 51st Seattle International Film Festival set for May 15-25, 2025, will screen 245 films, including two secret films, from 74 countries and regions around the globe.

Sengedorj Janchivdorj’s Silent City Driver was awarded the Grand Prix for Best Film along with the Best Production Design Award at the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival. The Mongolian film follows a man who, after enduring 14 brutal years in prison, lives in isolation with his only companions, the stray dogs he has rescued over time. His life takes an unexpected turn when he finds work as a hearse driver and encounters two people who will reshape his existence.

Mongrels, the debut feature film by award-winning Korean Canadian director Jerome Yoo, will premiere internationally in the First Feature Competition program at the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) in Estonia.
