Organized annually for over 30 years in a picturesque<br />
lakeside resort, this event focuses primarily on the cinema<br />
of Central and Eastern Europe. Main sections include feature<br />
and documentary competitions, as well as retrospectives of<br />
acclaimed filmmakers. Interesting Q&A sessions and debates<br />
on the condition of Polish and European cinema are possible<br />
due to the intentionally small scale of the event. Daily<br />
music concerts and theatre performances help maintain the<br />
special ambiance of the festival.<br />
