IFI KINOPOLIS POLISH FILM FESTIVAL 2025

IFI KINOPOLIS POLISH FILM FESTIVAL 2025 will return 11-14 December 2025.

This year’s IFI Kinopolis begins and ends with biopics of great artists. We open with a sterling account of the life of composer Frédéric Chopin, one of Poland’s greatest historical artists, and close with an intriguing depiction of author Franz Kafka from one of Polish cinema’s greatest current practitioners, Agnieszka Holland. Other highlights include a rare screening to mark the centenary of Wojciech Has, a distinctive and unique voice in the country’s history of the medium, while a new film from Wojciech Smarzowski, one of European cinema’s best-kept secrets, is always cause for excitement. As ever, this selection reflects the best of what has emerged from the country’s remarkable film industry over the last year, and showcases the most estimable talent in front of and behind the camera. We look forward to welcoming both Irish audiences and those of the Polish diaspora to enjoy this year’s festival.

The IFI would like to offer our sincere gratitude to Nikola Sękowska-Moroney, Cultural Affairs and Media Coordinator of the Embassy of Poland in Dublin, and to Agata Dzik, International Department Coordinator of the Pomeranian Film Foundation, for their invaluable assistance and support.
