New York Polish Film Festival

In just three years since its was introduced, The New York Polish Film Festival (www.nypff.com) has become one of the most important platforms for Polish cinema in the United States. The Festival’s goal is to present and promote contemporary Polish cinema, to show retrospectives of the best achievements of Polish filmmaking, and works by students of the famous film schools in Poland.

The third edition of the festival will present the best new works by young and well-known directors, Polish cinema classics, and short films made by aspiring film students, as well as documentaries and animation shorts. There will also be screenings of The Rape of Europa, directed by Richard Berge, Nicole Newham and Bonnie Cohen (sponsored by The Kościuszko Foundation) and Copying Beethoven – by Agnieszka Holland
