Congratulations to all the filmmakers whose films qualified for the Competition!

Here is a statement by the Artistic Director of the Polish Feature Film Festival, Joanna Łapińska: "We’ve had a record number of entries this year - almost 160 titles entered the Short Film Competition so the choice was very difficult. The final set is a condensation of what young filmmakers want to talk about. Their fresh look includes topics that have occupied us in recent months, as well as personal and atmospheric stories. I like the courage of young artists and their openness to experimenting with form and genre. All this will be shown in the Short Film Competition.”

Congratulations also go to filmmakers associated with our School, whose feature films are in the Main Competition of the most important Polish festival:
