Best of BFM 2019

Best of BFM is the most anticipated event in Baltic Film, Media, Arts and Communication School. The event lasts for a week. During the first four days, everyone has the chance to see the most prominent student works from last year. The expert jury then picks the most outstanding works. The week culminates with an award ceremony, where the best of the best will be rewarded the coveted BOB statue. The award-winning projects will represent BFM's educational output, forming the Best of BFM programme. 

In 2019 the films were screened throughout Feb 25th-28th and the final gala took place on March 1st

On March 7th at 5 PM we welcome everyone to the screening of the best of the best  at our SuperNova cinema.
