POLISH ANIMATED FILMS AT THE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS IN FEBRUARY

In February, the festival life seems to have fallen deep into winter sleep, but let us not forget about two very important industry events. At the beginning of the month, the festivals in Clermont Ferrand and in Berlin will start. This month, there are also a couple of smaller film events, at which there will be no lack of Polish productions. Check out where else you can watch Polish short animated films.

Together with the beginning of the month, the aforementioned festival in Clermont Ferrand starts. Two Polish animated films are invited to this year’s competition: “III” by Marta Pajek and “Bless You!” by Paulina Ziółkowska. The festival screenings are accompanied by very popular film market, at which the stall of the POLISH SHORTS, prepared by the Krakow Film Foundation, will also be present.
