The Polish Filmmakers Association is the patron of the debut competition.
Organizers also named the first three titles for the main competition: Agnieszka Holland’s “Franz Kafka” (Tomasz Naumiuk), Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet” (Łukasz Żal) and Petra Biondina Volpe’s “Late Shift” (Judith Kaufmann).
Documentary director and producer Liz Garbus will receive the festival’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Documentary, accompanied by a retrospective. Her recent works include the series “Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer,” “One Night in Idaho” and “Harry & Meghan.” Garbus has earned Oscar nominations for “The Farm: Angola, USA” and “What Happened, Miss Simone?,” with the latter also winning an Emmy. She earlier received an Emmy in 2007 as producer of “Demons of Abu Ghraib,” and has additional Emmy nominations for “Bobby Fischer Against the World,” “The Fourth Estate” and the season-four finale of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
The 33rd EnergaCamerimage International Film Festival will take place Nov. 15–22 in Toruń. The Polish Press Agency is a media patron of the event.
