Warsaw Film Festival (Polish: Warszawski Festiwal Filmowy; WFF), also known as Warsaw International Film Festival, is an annual international film festival held every October in Warsaw, Poland.[1][2]
The festival has been held every year since 1985.[3]
In 2008, it was recognised by FIAPF as an international competitive film festival.[4]
The festival is host to the International Federation of Film Critics awards for enterprising filmmaking in Central Europe and beyond.[8]
The programme consists of the following sections:[citation needed]
All the films presented, regardless of the section (competitive or non-competitive), are eligible for the Audience Award.[citation needed]
It was created in 1985 as "Warsaw Film Week" in the framework of the intellectual opposition club "Hybrydy". In 1991, after the Polish State's full democratization, Stefan Laudyn took over as director of the "Warsaw Film Festival".
In 2000 the festival got accreditation from FIAPF and changed its name again, into Warsaw International Film Festival.
