European Competition

The selection of films for this year’s European Competition was exceptionally difficult. All in all, we have chosen 26 films from 9 countries. Just like every year, the topics vary a lot, from issues of the highest importance to professional entertainment. Many of the presented pictures are special, often crossing the boundaries of a classic documentary. Traditionally, the screenings will be followed by discussions with the authors of the competing films, as well as films by the most talented students of the Academy of Art in Szczecin
