Around 100 professionals from abroad have already confirmed their participation, including programmers from numerous international festivals, sales agents, distributors and film producers.
As part of the event, industry representatives from around the world take part in closed screenings to learn about the latest Polish films at every stage of production: they watch completed films and fragments at the post-production stage and they listen to pitchings about projects in production. Polish Days is an excellent opportunity for producers and directors to promote their projects and to find foreign partners. During the selection process, the organizers choose the most interesting films currently being made in the Polish market. Projects presented in past years included, among others, Corpus Christi, Dolce Fine Giornata, Monument, Silent Night, Panic Attack!, Spoor or The Last Family.
