Dziękuję! Last weekend I was invited to come over to the capital city of Warsaw, Poland to attend the 42nd Warsaw Film Festival this fall. I've been hearing about this festival and decided to make the trek over to catch up with a few films. WIFF is on the rise as one of Europe's major festivals with a solid fall line-up - complete with government support along with the Polish Film Institute. It's also one of the many prestigious film festivals in Poland ever year with Camerimage, New Horizons, American Film Fest, Splat!FilmFest, etc. I'm lucky I had the chance to stop by and I enjoyed strolling through downtown Warsaw exploring many of the unique venues where screenings take place. One of them is deep underground at the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw (KinoMuzeum), another was located at the top of the tallest building in the city (Varso). Many screenings were at the vintage Kinoteka cinema located inside Warsaw's Palace of Culture and Science – the famous Soviet-era building that is now the symbol of the city located right in the middle of everything. I spent a few days at WIFF watching around 8 films (I've seen many at other fests).
