Two River Sides Film & Art Festival

Two Riversides Film and Art Festival is a unique artistic and cultural project destined for the enthusiasts of cinema and dedicated to the art of cinema and other forms of art which contribute to artistic films: literature, music, theatre and visual arts.

Two Riversides introduces to the viewers the most recent productions („World Under Canvas” and „In the Short Run” sections) and the heritage of world cinema. It also presents works of great contemporary directors and uncovers the creative worlds of remarkable actors in the section „And God Created Actor”. „Music My Love“ is one of Festival’s favorite sections, comprised of films which show special interest in the music side of cinema. Live concerts during the opening night are connected with the films presented at the Festival.

Two sides of the river is a metaphor not only of our host towns, but also of the two sides of art: the author and the viewer. Meeting the artists with their audience is one of the most important goals of the Festival. „Cinema Lesson – a Confession of Filmmaker” is a special meeting during which the great filmmakers unravel the secrets of their work. During the Festival the audience has an opportunity to meet directors, film industry personalities as well as enjoy artistic concerts and performances.

Two Riversides Festival owes its uniqueness to the two hosting towns as well. Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec are considerable tourist attractions as the most beautifully situated little towns in Poland. They were established in the 12th century and they still have the unforgettable medieval atmosphere. Before WWII, they were important centers of the Jewish culture.
