Lublin Film Festival, until 2016 known as the IFF Golden Anteaters, is one of the oldest internatio­nal independen­t film festivals in Poland. The statuettes awarded to the festival’s winners bear the former name of the event to this day.

The 12th Lublin Film Festival featured 8 full-length and 128 shortlengt­h films.

The festival is rich in various workshops, concerts and other events as well as long talks with Polish and foreign guests who eagerly blend into the festival’s community and always highlight the LFF’s unique vibe. For years, we’ve been cultivatin­g and developing our philosophy of cinema as a pretext for meeting, discussing views and getting to know each other.
