Enriched by another year of experience, we invite you to the 19th edition of our festival! International Short Film Festival ŻUBROFFKA 2025 will take place from December 3rd to 7th in Białystok and Podlasie.
The world is radicalizing. Draws the boundaries with a thick line again. The motto “faster, higher, stronger” has grown into us as if it were our own. The world is radicalizing, and we feel that it is radicalizing in the wrong way.
As part of the 19th edition of the International Film Festival ŻUBROFFKA, we will embark on a risky journey to the place where the end times are close at hand, to shift the boundary a millimeter or two – to where the view is better, and a new beginning looms on the horizon.
We’re shifting perspectives, so that our festival can become a vehicle for stories about how not to constantly pull yourself together, cease to tense up, not overexert yourself – a platform for communicating the need to examine yourself and those close to you. About the need to be noticed.
In early December, we’ll send a special Bisonmobile out onto the streets. We’ll fasten our seatbelts, calm our minds, our breathing even, and maintain the perfect pace, one that, in addition to focusing on the destination, allows us to admire the views as well. Come with us to experience the unique festival energy! And remember! There’s a bison hidden within each of us, and despite our calm nature, we can also show off our horns.
If to radicalize, radicalize only in mutual curiosity. Going faster – let it be in a rush towards adventure. If go higher – go to the heights of empathy. Our power is not aggressive, its source lies in the belief that the only path to balance leads through taming anxiety – of what is different, incomprehensible, new, seemingly alien.
We invited British animator Joe Taylor to create the opening theme and main graphic design for this year’s festival, and the visual identification based on his concept was, like in previous editions, prepared by graphic designer Izabela Sroka.
