This year's fourteenth edition will be held in a hybrid form – in addition to theaters and outdoor screenings, we are offering the possibility of experiencing the film emotions at home, on smaller screens.

In fact all films of the main section "Making Way" and the section "American Indies" will be available on the Player.pl platform. After making a payment by card, bank transfer or blik, you will receive a reservation for the screening of the selected film from these categories. The number of tickets is limited and the screenings will be available for all 10 Festival days. It is a perfect alternative for those who could not join us in Krakow. 

Thanks to PLAY KRAKÓW, the unique VOD platform of the City of Krakow, festival guests will also be able to watch films from the following three festival sections: LOVE ON THE BRAIN, DIFFERENT SHADES OF CRISIS and NORDIC HORIZONS. Among them there are last years' productions shown so far in limited distribution, such as Dan Johan Haugerud's "Barn", Benedikt Erlingsson's "Woman at War", Soda Yukiko's "Aristocrats" and Hlynur Palmason's "White, White Day", but also newer productions like "Light from the Chocolate Factory" by Dag Johan Haugerud and "Last and First Men" by recently deceased Icelandic composer, Johann Johansson. 

Similarly to the last few years, the film festival will be accompanied by the SerialCon organized by Player.pl. During the five days of the Festival those interested in the Polish TV series will be able to participate in thematic panels broadcast on Facebook, lectures available on the Player platform and special on-line workshops via the Zoom platform, including: meetings with actors, producers, directors of TV series content, interesting discussions and answers to substantial questions.

The topic will be approached from a different angle by: Miłosława Bożek, Magdalena Stępień and Maciej Stasierski. Both panels will be broadcast on the official SerialCon Fanpage.

As part of the broadcast on the Player platform, viewers will also be able to watch the lecture entitled: THE POLISH IN A FOREIGN SERIES. About stereotypes and associations that appear in productions outside our country, in which our compatriots appear.
