Krakow Film Festival is one of Europe's oldest film events. The event has been evolving and progressing for past 50 years, but the core of the Festival are three competition sections with a special focus on documentary film. This year's novelty is opening the national competition for the documentaries with a running time exceeding 60 minutes.

2. international documentary film competition open to documentaries with a running time of:

Only premieres (i.e. the films that have not been screened in Poland at any festival held before the 51st KFF) will be accepted.

3. national competition open to films made in Poland with a running time of:
documentary films – more than 60 minutes (NEW!)
documentary films - 60 minutes or less
animated films - 30 minutes or less

Subject to the Selection Committee’s decision, the films submitted for the national competition may also participate in the international competitions.
