The Polish Competition

The Polish documentary film competition serves as a platform for discussing modern documentary art. After the screenings, the filmmakers and audience members will have the opportunity to share their thoughts in the festival spirit. The tension between the classic and the new forms of expression, formal and thematic exploration, the defying of genres, and the changing of cinematic customs: this is what determines SEFF. The intercultural background and dialogue of the Polish-German committee members guarantee the viewers a broad look at modern documentary cinema, its artistic and social engagement, as well as involvement in an individual protagonist.
