KIFF is an independent festival that was born together with the KINOGRAM - a venue of meeting with culture, where you can meet the top Polish directors and actors, where masterclasses with directors and outstanding industry people, movie premieres with discussion panels, retransmissions of important events take place using the extraordinary possibilities of screening rooms and the location in the wonderful post-industrial space of the former Norblin Factory in Warsaw, Poland.
KIFF’s second edition starts this April, and the winners will be announced at the KIFF Awards Ceremony this November, 2022.
We are waiting for films 3 to 30 minutes long. We accept applications from everyone - both professionals and students and amateurs. The films must be of good quality, but do not have to be shot with professional equipment - any technique is possible. An ideal KIFF movie is one with a good, interesting story, a message to the world, showing a unique person or situations….
The first selection will pick TOP 30, which will be judged by a jury composed of well-known and awarded Polish filmmakers and producers.
The KIFF jury will award its three awards, and there will also be an audience award voted during the TOP 30 screenings in November 2022. The KIFF Award Ceremony will take place in the spaces of the unique cinema KINOGRAM, which is a new dimension of experiencing art and cinema. A remarkable location in a revitalized, historic complex, seven cozy screening rooms with the original design, the state-of-the-art cinema equipment selected by the best industry experts and a great variety of films together with an agenda full of cultural events - these are the main attributes of the new cinema in the heart of the Polish capital.
