The award in the Polish competition will go to both the director and the cinematographer, in keeping with the festival’s focus on the art of the cinematographer.
The competition includes films from some of Poland’s most notable directors, as well as by several lesser known names. Among them are films from Jan Jakub Kolski, Krzysztof Zanussi and Filip Bajon. Only three of the films are coproductions.
