It is an excellent time for Paweł Chorzępa and his short documentary. Only yesterday, “The Tuners” was awarded the Silver Dragon at the 66th Krakow Film Festival, and today another piece of great news has reached us: the film has won The Best Short Film Award at the Bali International Film Festival – Balinale in Indonesia. This is a particularly important distinction, as it is an Academy Award-qualifying award.

Natalia Koniarz’s “Silver” returns with yet another distinction. The film received the Environment and Society Award at the 29th edition of CinemAmbiente – one of Italy’s most important festivals dedicated to environmental cinema. It is another significant success for a documentary that has been gaining recognition at international festivals for months.

A great celebration of documentary and short cinema has come to an end – the 66th Krakow Film Festival. Over the course of a week, audiences took part in screenings, meetings, concerts and conversations with filmmakers from around the world. The official closing gala, held in a packed Kino Kijów, brought the cinema part of this year’s edition to a close, with the announcement of the jury verdicts as its culminating moment. Among the award-winning titles were both feature-length documentaries and short forms – documentaries, fiction films and animations – recognised for their courage, sensitivity, narrative precision and artistic power.

For years, the Krakow Film Festival’s industry programme has remained one of the most important meeting places for the documentary, animated and short film communities in Poland.
