Two Riversides opens with the Polish premiere of “The Broken Circle Breakdown” (F. Van Groeningen). The film received the Audience Award at the IFF Berlin. The festival closes with a premiere screening of  “The Great Beauty.” (P. Sorrentino).

Films selected at the most important festivals round the world: Venice, San Sebastian, Rotterdam, Berlin, Cannes, Transilvania, Riga, Portoroz, Ljubljana, Bratislava – and the ones held in Poland.

A review of new, often premiere short-length films. This section comprises of awarded shorts from international festivals and the best short, professional Polish films from the previous season. 

Once again amateurs and students will compete with professionals and film school graduates. The main prize of the ISFC is 3000 PLN. There are also two additional prizes: directors will get 1000 PLN each.

We present directors whose output had or is having a key influence on the directions of world cinematography. The protagonists of this year will be Janusz Morgenstern and Thomas Vinterberg.

Actor’s retrospective. Our guest will be Stanisława Celińska. We will show movies and TV theatre productions with her participation and invite our viewers to participate in a meeting with the actor.

We present music films and films about music, sometimes we also screen concert footage as well. A holiday of music and film together with a festival-opening event.

Shows which extensively promote outstanding film productions. Wonderful pictures which were only distributed in a few copies. This is our idea for what is worth saving from the last season.

 

It is a particular form of our special guests’ meeting with the festival audience. The artists talk about their fascination with art, artistic sins and craft secrets.

“Shun Li and the Poet” – laureate of the European Parliament LUX Prize, “Flapper the Hare” – a series of children’s stories by the Se-ma-for studio, the “Miasto44 at the Two Riversides” project, and two presentations as cinema lessons.

At the Two Riversides the only jury is the audience. Films which take part in the Poll are ones from the World Under Canvas and feature film premieres from other sections produced in 2012 and 2013.

During Two Riversides we want to popularise this art form, which, in accordance with the idea behind the festival, is based on the co-existence of different fields of art.

Presentation of artists from Poland and abroad, composers and performers of classical, jazz, alternative music.

Each year, we organise exhibitions of local artists in cooperation with the College of Fine Arts, the Vistula Museum, and the Klimaty Gallery (Mięćmierz village).

Meetings with remarkable creators of film, art and literature from around the world.
