In the main International Competition, 15 premiere titles will compete for the Warsaw Grand Prix, including Our Girls, the latest film by Oscar-winning Dutch director Mike van Diem (Character).
The festival’s opening film is Anniversary, the first English-language and U.S.-made feature by acclaimed Polish filmmaker Jan Komasa (Corpus Christi), starring Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler.
Several other Polish productions and co-productions also feature prominently in the competition line-up, including Home Sweet Home by Wojciech Smarzowski, a past WIFF award-winner, and Brother by Maciej Sobieszczański.
Running through October 19, the festival remains one of Central Europe’s key showcases for world cinema - a meeting point for emerging talent and established auteurs.
