Debate: Half a Century Passed. What’s Next? Where is Polish Cinema Heading? FPFF x Ekrany

Although this year’s jubilee inspires us to look back, it is also an opportunity to reflect on the present and the near future of Polish cinema. What is the state of our domestic film industry? Does it follow global trends? What’s new, and what harks back to the past and established cinematic tropes?

What films are Polish audiences watching? Industry practitioners and careful observers of domestic cinema will try to answer these and many more questions related to the state of Polish film during a debate organised under the auspices of Ekrany magazine. Together, we will look ahead and consider what we can expect – or hope to see – on the silver screen and at home in the years to come in light of the noticeable trends and changes shaping both the Polish and global film industries.
