Off Cinema is just what you'd expect: a showcase of hand-picked underground films and documentaries from around the world that you probably won't see in your local Multikino. The festival aims to promote the development of documentary cinema in three areas: presentation, education, and reflection. Film screenings will be accompanied by meetings with filmmakers, exhibitions, concerts, film workshops, academic lectures, and discussions. At stake are three coveted gold, silver, and bronze "Castle" prizes ranging from 5,000zł to 15,000zł for the selected winning titles. This year the submissions reached a record level of 2512 films from all over the world. The winners will be announced mid-August.
