3 INTRODUCTION

Ladies and Gentlemen,

You are holding in your hands the latest edition of the Polish Film Institute’s “Documentaries, Fea- ture Shorts & Animations 2017” directory, which is a preview of the upcoming season in Polish cinema. The selected documentaries, animations and feature short films presented here include some which are sure to feature in the competi- tions and prestigious sections of the major in- ternational film festivals. I believe that these ti- tles will ensure that 2017 provides many pleasant surprises and interesting discoveries. The success of this branch of Polish cinema owes

photo by Marcin Kułakowski, Polish Film Institute a lot, among other things, to the universality of the themes, the successful cooperation between directors and producers, excellent international contacts and the outstanding Polish film events dedicated to documentaries and short films. The films presented in this directory also include a number of film school shorts, which I particu- larly recommend. These filmmakers are the very people who will create the new face of Polish cin- ema in the future. Polish artists are constantly working on new titles and many of them rely on the support of the Pol- DOCUMENTARIES ish Film Institute, which endeavours to make Pol- FEATURE SHORTS ish cinema as diverse and enriching as possible for viewers both in Poland and around the world. ANIMATIONS I believe that this “Documentaries, Feature Shorts & Animations 2017” directory will ena- ble you to discover something intriguing, sur- prising and inspiring in Polish cinema. Fall under the spell of Polish cinema in 2017!
