As part of ŻUBROFFKA International Short Film Festival, we have the pleasure of inviting the children and youth to participate in competition screenings specifically for the young audience!
Entry to all the screenings is free of charge!
KIDS is a unique competition, as the young audience is its Jury. In addition, each screening will be followed with a meeting with film creators and creative classes for the young jury members. Every child, that will participate in screenings, will receive a magic ŻUBROFFKA pencil.
Dear Young Jury Members, you will watch carefully selected short films – titles that are not in the cinema or on TV, produced in various parts of the world. You will be able to watch animations, feature, and experimental films. You will meet the film creators, who will tell you about their films and their work on them. And the most important thing – it will be you, who will select the films that will be awarded.
KIDS 13+ competition screening (84′)
