Polish Film Festival comes to Belfast

Northern Ireland’s first ever ‘Polish Film Festival’ will take place this week at Queen’s Film Theatre in Belfast as part of Polish Cultural Week.

The festival will open on Friday 27th July with the Irish premiere of ‘Testosteron’, a recent Polish box office hit and will also feature highlights from over 40 years of Polish cinema. The aim of the festival is to share Polish cultural heritage with Northern Ireland audiences and to help Polish people to integrate further with the community in Belfast.

Eva Grosman, Editor of Glosik magazine, one of the organisers of the festival said: “We are delighted to be working with QFT on such an exciting showcase for Polish cinema. We are very proud of our film industry and are looking forward to giving audiences a flavour of what we have produced so far, at the best world cinema venue in Northern Ireland.”

The festival will run from Friday 27th July to Thursday 2nd August.
