The Austin Polish Film Festival (APFF) returns for its 18th year, solidifying its role as a premiere showcase of Polish cinematic talent. Since its launch in 2005, APFF has presented over 450 films, welcomed celebrated Polish filmmakers of both national and international acclaim, and firmly established itself within Austin’s bustling film landscape.
This year boasts a curated lineup, featuring award-winning dramas and insightful documentaries. One of the festival’s crown jewels is Kinga Debska’s “Feast of Fire” (“Święto ognia”), a stirring adaptation of Jakub Małecki’s novel. Scheduled for November 3rd, audiences will be treated to an intimate Q&A session with actress Paulina Pytlak post-screening.
Enhancing the cinematic experience, APFF collaborates with Dot Dot Dot Connect, a leading experiential art curator. This partnership brings forth an exclusive art exhibit celebrating the intricate works of acclaimed Polish poster artist, Patrycja Longawa.
Film enthusiasts will have the opportunity to cast their votes, leading to the much-anticipated Audience Award for the festival’s standout film. Keep an eye on www.austinpolishfilm.com for more details.
