Apart from the review of the most interesting films from Poland and abroad the Festival will give an unique opportunity to meet representatives of film and advertising sectors with local government.

The festival programme consists of workshops and seminars conducted by professionals. A special workshop about film and television production for local government will be carried out by experts of Gdynia Film School: Marcin Borchardt, Sławomir Pultyn and Jurek Rados.

For the first time in Poland a pitching will be organized. It is an unique presentation of projects which gives local governments a possibility to become coproducers. That part will be participated by Krzysztof Grabowski – a producer of ’Ojciec Mateusz’.
