Krakow Film Festival

February 10 has been announced as the deadline to submit films for selection in the 52th Krakow Film Festival. This year's festival will take place between 28 May and 3 June. The above mentioned deadline applies to films made after 31 August 2011. Films made before that date were due for submission by 30 November 2011.

Krakow Film Festival presents documentary, feature and animated films in three competitions:

national competition open to films made in Poland with a running time of:
documentary films – up to 60 minutes
documentary films – over 60 minutes
animated films – up to 30 minutes
narrative films – up to 30 minutes

international short film competition is open to documentary, animated and narrative films with a running time of up to 30 minutes;

international documentary film competition open to documentaries with a running time of:
30 to 60 minutes – medium-length documentaries,
more than 60 minutes – feature-length documentaries.

The requirement of a Polish premiere applies only to submissions for the international documentary competition. In the case of other competition, i.e. the Polish and the international short films competition, it is not required. Nevertheless, preference in selection is given to the films that have not been released in Polish cinemas or screened at any festival in Poland before the 52nd Krakow Film Festival.

Polish producers submit their films only to the national competition. The Selection Committee decide about Polish films which will participate in the international competitions.

Traditionally, Poland's oldest film festival will be accompanied by the Industry Zone with the Krakow Film Market (this time from 29 May till 3 June), the pitching "Dragon Forum" (between 31 May and 4 June), conferences, seminars and workshops.
