The Krakow Film Festival is one of the oldest and the most recognised events in the world, dedicated to documentary, animated and short feature films. During the eight festival days, the viewers have a chance to watch about 250 films from Poland and from around the world.
INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM COMPETITION
It presents short documentaries, feature films and animations (up to 30 min) of artists from the farthest corners of the world, which makes it the most diverse and intriguing competition section of the festival. The awards granted in this competition shorten the path of applying for an Oscar nomination, and the award for the best European film gives the opportunity to apply for a nomination for the European Film Award.
The festival dates: May 28- June 4, 2023.
The submission deadline for short films: November 30, 2023.
(January 31, 2023: for films made after 31 October 2023)
