Every year, within the frames of the Krakow Film Festival, the latest documentary, short and animated films from a selected country are presented. This time, the special section of the Festival is dedicated to Denmark. Fascinating film screenings and numerous accompanying and industry events wait for the audience in Krakow.
Denmark is another country of the Baltic Sea region which we will take a closer look at, says Barbara Orlicz-Szczypuła, the director of the Programme Office of the Festival. This year’s selection proves, however, that the Danish filmmakers, just like the Polish ones, are more eager to go abroad with their cameras. The variety of topics they deal with is surprising and engaging. In the programme, we will watch both several psychological portraits of the contemporary human, as well as fascinating stories about distant cultures.

Film Festival Spring: One Journey to 3 Festivals
Between May 28th and June 7th, professionals from the short film industry will have the opportunity to combine the pleasant with the useful and to enjoy three spring events in one festival trip. Vienna Shorts (AT), Krakow Film Festival (PL) and the Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg (DE) have coordinated their industry activities so that a visit to all three festivals is not only easily feasible but will also be more than worthwhile:
Industry Days:
Vienna Shorts (May 29–31), Krakow FF (June 1–3 ), Hamburg (June 4–6 )
Food for thoughts & drinks for fun – with filmmakers, programmers & industry experts.
The three festivals can be combined by train for a total of around 70 euros (Vienna–Krakow–Hamburg route, if booked in advance). The first 10 professionals who wish to take advantage of the triple package will receive free accreditation, a surprise special from each festival & the Industry Gold Card Treat at the festival bar in Hamburg.
Accreditations for the three festivals are available from mid/end of March. If you are interested in the package, please contact the guest department of one of the three festivals under: guest@ … viennashorts.com, kff.com.pl or shortfilm.com
