Breadmakers in Krakow

Breadmakers has been selected for the Krakow Film Festival, which takes place in Krakow, Poland, from 30th May to the 5th June 2008. Krakow Film Festival is the oldest film festival in Poland, organised every year since 1961.

In the early 1990's, due to the political and economic transformations which caused a drastic decline of film production, the Krakow festival went through a crisis, as a result of which the national competition ceased to be organised for a number of years. It was only in 1997 that it was restored and since then both festivals have been held jointly every year in late May and early June.

The fact that the Krakow Film Festival has been officially recognised by FIAPF, the European Film Academy and the AMPAS only confirms its reputation in its field.

Consequently, the films awarded at Krakow are automatically eligible for the European Film Awards and the Oscars in the short film category. The Krakow Film Festival is also a member of the European Co-ordination of Film festivals, the association of Europe’s most prestigious film festivals.
