We announce the list of selected films for the International Short Film Competition. For many years those screenings have enjoyed great interest of our viewers – we do know why. Each competition block is an opportunity to meet new filmmakers who are already deciding on the future of cinema. ISFC are films which, referring to cinematographic traditions, search for original means of expression, tell unconventional stories and consciously break taboos.

From the 2307 films sent from all continents, we selected 34 that touched us or amused us the most; these are films that have been with us for a long time and we want to pass them on.

There are prizes in the competition. The first place is 5000 PLN, the second place is 3000 PLN, the third place is 2000 PLN. MAKonLine Ubezpieczenia is the official sponsor of the statutory prizes in the International Short Film Competition.

The jury will include: Agnieszka Żulewska (theater and film actress, for her role in the film “Chemistry” directed by Bartosz Prokopowicz, she received the Zbyszek Cybulski Award 2016, she starred in many short films and several feature productions, currently associated with TR Warszawa), Maciej Cuske (director of documentaries and screenwriter, awarded many times for his films such as “Cure”, “Antiquarian Bookshop” or “In the Sky, on Earth”, his latest film “The Whale of Lorino” will be shown in this year’s “World under a tent” section) , Tomasz Gąssowski (film music composer, for the music for the film “Imagine” directed by Andrzej Jakimowski he received the MocArta award, “Cinema Lesson” with his participation will take place in the Two Riversides).
