Polish Days provide an excellent opportunity for filmmakers to promote their projects and find foreign partners. During the selection process, the organizers choose the most interesting films currently being produced in the Polish market. Projects presented in past years have included Woman On The Roof, The Peasants, Bread and Salt, Corpus Christi, Sweat, Prime Time, Dolce Fine Giornata, The Last Family, among others.
