FESTIVAL DATE(S) & SUBMISSION DEADLINE: See Website For Details; LOCATION: Austin, TX; DESCRIPTION: APS has sponsored the Austin Polish Film Festival since 2006. This film festival is unique among all the film festivals in Austin because it presents only Polish feature films, documentaries, shorts and animated films. Poland has a rich history of filmmaking that spans over 100 years, but it is little known to most film audiences in Texas, due primarily to distribution issues and limited promotion outside of Europe. The role of the APFF is to bring quality Polish films to Austin audiences and expand awareness of Polish arts and culture.
