Every year the LGBT+ Film Festival presents bold, queer artistic cinema, hits of world festivals, uncompromising and visionary films. The program of the event consists of productions that combine inclusiveness and diversity with a high artistic level. One of the programmers of this year's edition is our Postgraduate Directing alumn, Agata Korycka, whose film „By the River” produced by us won the 11th edition of the festival.

„Blue Hour” – our production, which you can watch during the LGBT+ Film Festival, has had numerous festival screenings both in Poland and abroad. It is worth noting that the film took part in two Oscar-qualifying events: Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival, where it reached the semi-finals, and Out On Film: Atlanta's LGBTQ Film Festival.
The film directed by Stacey Rushchak, with cinematography by Grzegorz Adach, will compete for the award in the Best Short Film category. We would like to remind you that last year it was won by our short „The Cracks” directed by Magdalena Kaj Gajewskx.
