Polish Film Award, or Eagle (Polish: Polska Nagroda Filmowa, „Orzeł”) is the national film award of Poland. It has been delivered annually since 1999,[1] with the first event held on 21 June, by the National Chamber of Audiovisual Producers (KIPA). Since 2003 they have been awarded by the Polish Film Academy.
The award ceremony is held under the auspices of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland. Their status in the Polish film industry can be compared with Academy Awards.[2][3]
The award depicts outstretched eagle's wings attached to a white socle twined by a ribbon which is reminiscent of a film stock. It was designed by Polish sculptor Adam Fedorowicz.[4]
The 25th Polish Film Awards ceremony took place on 4th March 2024. Green Border, directed by Agnieszka Holland, won the award for Best Film.[5]
