It is often said that Poland has too much history to digest. Perhaps because of this, there has been a tendency for the country to try to make sense of itself through the medium of film. Polish movies have provided European culture with some of the most extraordinary and enigmatic films in the past 50 years.

£5 for all tickets £20 festival ticket for entrance to all films Tickets are available online, from the Tourist Information Centre, or at the box office All films are in Polish with English subtitles
