The event features two exciting programs: a screening of animated films from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and short films from the Szczecin Film Festival. The Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, known for its School of Animation, will present a selection of films created over the past year as graduation projects or student works. These works reflect the broad spectrum of contemporary animation techniques and styles. Some of the participating artists are already gaining recognition and have successfully participated in international festivals. The presentation highlights the diversity of creative approaches and the unique character of the Kraków School of Animation, which is known for its original and acclaimed films.
The Szczecin Film Festival is a major event in the Polish-German border region and provides a platform for exchange and collaboration within the film community. Organized by the Polish organization OFFicyna, the festival screens films that reflect the latest audiovisual trends. The focus is on experimental and cross-border works that open up new perspectives on reality. The program is complemented by a broad spectrum ranging from classic documentaries to avant-garde experiments with image and sound.
Both programs offer an excellent opportunity to experience contemporary cinematic developments and the work of emerging artists.
