Tofifest International Film Festival begins submissions of films for competitions of the 12th edition of the festival, which will be held on 18–26 October 2014.
Nicknamed the “rebellious festival”, IFF Tofifest is one of the most important film events in Poland. Within 11 years of the event among its guests and winners were, among others, Geraldine Chaplin, Jim Sheridan, Jiri Menzel, Ulrich Seidl, Emanuelle Seigner, Janusz Gajos, Jerzy Stuhr, Krystyna Janda and Julia Jentsch. Each year the festival presents over 150 films, in several sections, and screenings are accompanied by numerous artistic events, exhibitions, theatre performances and concerts.
Film can be submitted to two international competitions: ON AIR—for full-length debut and second films and SHORTCUT—for short films. Other festival competitions are FROM POLAND—intended for Polish films and LOCALIZATIONS—for films associated with Kujawsko-Pomorskie region. The awards in the above competitions are, traditionally, Golden Angels of Tofifest and money prizes.
Deadline for all submissions is 14 August 2014. The film’s acceptance to the selection process is determined by the receipt date of an online application. Preview copies must be sent, within the same prescribed period, to the Festival Office along with a printed and signed submission form (date of postmark is decisive).
We look forward to your films!
