We invite you to see films with their participation andlisten to stories about their journey to the screen.

The DSF Winners on the Big Screen series is an event accompanying the Drama Schools’ Festival. It includes film screenings and meetings with actors who once, in their final year of studies, presented their theatre shows at the Drama Schools Festival in Łódź.

Now, we will see them on the big screen - in their latest films.

The series promotes the art of acting among audiences, both festival and local, and shows the creative path of actors from theatre to the silver screen.

Admission to the screenings and the meetings is FREE (while seats last) – this is an event for the festival audience, the local audience, EVERYONE!
