Yes, film festivals are popping up all over the place now, but this is the original—back this year for its 35th edition. Things have come a long way since 1985 when this event started life as a small student festival. Nowadays, it's a full-blown red carpet, posh frock affair with prizes running to 100,000 zł. Numbered amongst the elite group of the 13 most important film festivals in the world, the programme includes films from all over the world, most of which receive their Polish premieres at this very festival.
