Festival remains an integral part of Warsaw, Poland-wide and world-wide festival’s map. Huge number of public audience attendees and contribution of Warsaw inhabitants means that they want to take part in this type of undertaking and are eager to reveal multi-cultural heritage of the city they live in. We believe that by popularizing by the art of film with “Jewish themes” we contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about the history, tradition and cultural heritage of Polish and Warsaw Jews.
Apart from the richness of the program this year, we also put an emphasis on Ukrainian Jewish-themed cinema under the umbrella of the WARSAW JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL. It is a gesture and encouragement towards Ukrainian-speaking audience who reside in Poland due to the war going on in their home country.
The program is dedicated to this year’s motto “DON’T BE INDIFFERENT” connected with all year round celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Film is a medium that allows this sentence to be conveyed in an accessible and attractive form, making the viewer more sensitive, insightful and attentive. We have no influence on the past, but we present today the history to our viewers. Let’s not forget that the future will depend on what foundations we create “here and now”.
