ŻUBROFFKA is not only a review of the latest achievements in short filmmaking. The idea of the Festival is a comprehensive approach to the art of film which is why the programme always includes workshops for children and adults, international film breakfasts, discussion panels, exhibitions, and even film therapy sessions. From morning to late evening, in various locations in Białystok and Podlasie, short films from all over the world are presented.
