Society, culture, film, contemporary art, architecture and dance with regard to transformations that these domains are subjected to.

 

Short Waves Festival is one of the most significant Polish festivals presenting exclusively short films.

It’s a constellation of cinematic events scattered around Poznań’s urban landscape. Competition screenings are its core. Short Waves Festival additionally presented unconventional screening selections such as Comedy, Horror and Kinky Shorts, focus program (including geographic focus – we will be presenting the cinematography of Romania during the 2022 edition), industry segment, audiovisual events, music events. It also reaches beyond the screening room: open airs, clubs, art galleries, theatres and Poznanians’ private gardens known as Random Garden Cinema series. Thanks to the continuation of the new hybrid form introduced in 2020, those seven days of June are going to consist of events and screenings taking place both offline in Poznań as well as online.
