IFI KINOPOLIS POLISH FILM FESTIVAL 2024
IFI & KINOPOLIS POLISH FILM FESTIVAL 2024 will return on Thursday, December 5th to Sunday, December 8th.
The strong line-up of films in this year’s IFI Kinopolis serves as a snapshot of not just the best of new Polish cinema, but also of a society that, like that of Ireland, has become increasingly diversified and enriched by the arrival, acceptance, and integration of the richness of other cultures into their own. This year’s festival begins with a Danish story told by a Polish director with Swedish roots;
Minghun
sees the observation of Chinese custom by Polish loved ones; and the harrowing, excellent
People
is, sadly, well named in its depiction of the Ukrainian conflict that may be all too horrifyingly familiar to those fleeing other international assaults. On the lighter side, we offer the heartwarming tales of a grumpy postman and a couple trying to fall in love with each other again, and a classic comedy featuring a titan of Polish acting, the late Jerzy Stuhr. We look forward to welcoming audiences to these engaging and thought-provoking films.
The IFI would like to offer our sincere gratitude to Nikola Sękowska-Moroney, Cultural Diplomacy 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.
