THE NEW IS AHEAD - Documentaries
WELCOME TO THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF "THE NEW IS AHEAD"!

The future of Polish documentary begins in short documentaries shot in film schools. They offer something unique – a glimpse into the real world that young people see around them. The filmmakers we've gathered for the "THE NEW IS AHEAD" screening block focus on completely different parts of this world. They share one thing in common – the search for truth.
At April's "THE NEW IS AHEAD" we'll be showcasing the best non-fiction shorts from recent years, produced by the Warsaw Film School – because short documentaries belong on the big screen!
