This autumn, the festival celebrated its 22nd edition. It was founded way back in other times — and has since undergone remarkable changes. Jan Olszewski outlines the festival history and talks about its importance today.

Our jury prized the Hungarian revelation of the year: Fresh Air (Friss Levegö) by Agnes Kocsis: the story of an impossible communication between Viola and Angela, who only meet to watch their favorite television series.
