The Krakow Film Festival is Poland's most important celebration of documentary, short, and animated film. It is a unique space where acclaimed filmmakers with global achievements meet those who are just beginning their cinematic journey. Here, audiences can engage directly with the artists and the protagonists of the stories being told. This is not only a festival of prestigious premieres and a gateway to international careers — above all, it is a vibrant meeting place: in cinema halls, at the festival centre, and during accompanying events. Join the most insider event of the year and discover the very best in documentary and short filmmaking!
The programme will feature nearly 200 films from around the world, including over 100 world and Polish premieres. The festival will take place in cinemas (31 May – 7 June) and online on the KFF VOD platform (5–19 June). Films will be presented across 4 competitions: 3 international (documentary, short film, and DocFilmMusic), the Polish competition, and numerous non-competitive sections and special screenings.
