The Lodz Film School turns 75 this year. We invite you to the jubilee events during the 63rd Krakow Film Festival.
Lodz Film School graduates have created and are still creating Polish cinema. Their names fill the credits of Polish and foreign films, they receive laurels, awards and honours at festivals and competitions around the world. The Lodz Film School is not only an address at Targowa Street, but also a 'genius loci' - the sum of experiences, thoughts, emotions, ideas, dreams, creative struggles which were accompanied by fears and joys, ups and downs of people who have been and still are part of the School. We dream of evoking this spirit on the occasion of the jubilee!
We celebrate, recall, watch, meet and still, constantly and addictively PICTURING THE WORLD. Look with us! We invite you to the Lodz Film School anniversary celebration as part of the 63rd edition of the Krakow Film Festival.
Here is the programme of the events:

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Lodz Film School, we invite you to an extraordinary presentation of our students' film projects, which are still at the stage of implementation: FAUSTYNA, dir. Natalia Dutkiewicz and THE CURSE, dir. Jakub Jakubik. The students, in the presence of their artistic supervisors: Maciej Drygas, Jacek Petrycki, Marta Prus as well as Jacek Bławut and Mirosław Dembiński, will present fragments of film materials and talk about the concept of their films. The idea of this presentation is to confront them with your opinions, emotions and sensitivities. We invite you to join the discussion and participate in the film-making process. Be the first critical viewers who can influence the films’ shape.
