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.

Films which enter the ISFC are feature films, documentaries, animations ad experimental films that last up to 60 minutes and were produced in 2012 or 2013. Older films can (only conditionally) be admitted if their screening during the Festival will be their first presentation in Poland.

INDEPENDENT JURY | Taking part in the Short Films Competition not only gives the opportunity to be shown on the big screen but also to confront one’s ideas with the most difficult and demanding jury: the audience. In the Short Films Competition the films are judged by an Independent Jury chosen from the festival audience. Members of the Independent Jury do not have any connections with films presented within the Competition or with the film industry itself – no film institutions’ employees, students or graduates from film schools or from university departments connected with films will be accepted. Before becoming a member of the Jury, each candidate is asked to sign a special declaration. A perfect candidate for an Independent Jury is a regular viewer.

The awards that our Jury gave in the previous years are as follows:
