In June 2023, The New York Polish Film Festival will celebrate its 18th Anniversary. The main goal of the event is to bring a variety of films to hundreds of viewers in the New York City Metropolitan area, at theaters and online.
The festival’s Opening Gala Special screening is set to take place on June 10, at the Scandinavian House, Park Ave, New York. The program includes various features, documentaries, short films, and meetings with filmmakers, actors, and directors, informed the official website of the festival.

The audience will also have a chance to watch production such as BREAD AND SALT (CHLEB I SÓL) by Damian Kocur, BRATY by Marcin Filipowicz, ROVING WOMAN by Michał Chmielewski and DANGEROUS GENTLEMAN by Maciej Kawalski, with great Polish actors Andrzej Seweryn, Marcin Dorociński, and Tomasz Kot.
