For the 10th time, Warsaw hosted young film critics from Eastern Europe, who took part in the FIPRESCI Warsaw Critics Project workshop (co-organised by Warsaw Film Foundation and FIPRESCI), reporting this year also on the CentEast Market (http://www.filmneweurope.com/centeast-stories-2015). Young, Polish filmmakers, taking part in the Shorts WARSZAWA workshop, had a chance to learn about the film festival strategies and realities of the work of the international film festival programmers during the Breakfast Talks, another novelty, held this year for the first time during the CentEast Market Warsaw.
