The winners of the Grand Prix, the audience award and the Fipresci Prize are all guaranteed distribution in Poland.
The international competition is especially strong on films from North and South America. However, European films are in the spotlight in the festival's other competitions. Those include the Polish Short Films Competition (new Polish shorts up to 30 minutes long); and the European Shorts Competition (European films up to 30 minutes long), which awards prizes of 1,000 euros in each of three categories: fiction films, documentaries and animation. The Films On Art International Competition, for feature-length documentaries on the borderline of cinema and visual arts, will award a 10,000 euro main prize as well as guaranteed distribution in Poland.
The festival has also added a new industry event, Polish Days, presenting new Polish films to an international industry audience on 21-23 July. The event is supported by the city of Wrocław and the Polish Film Institute (www.pisf.pl).
