20 Years of the Warsaw Film School at Kino Susidiv
We’re proud to take part in the fourth edition of Films by Our Neighbours - a festival that brings together intimate, powerful stories from Ukraine and the Visegrad region, supported by the International Visegrad Fund.
As part of the programme, Warsaw Film School will showcase a selection of short fiction films by our Ukrainian students. Created between 2021 and 2024, these works delve into themes of war, memory, identity, and self-discovery - and celebrate two decades of our school’s commitment to fostering bold, independent voices in cinema.
