The biggest and most prestigious film festivals are usually difficult to access for ordinary people. They are by invitation only, or tickets to attend them are expensive. However, there are many smaller festivals, equally interesting, which each cinema enthusiast can go to. Would you be interested in going to any?

Największe i najbardziej prestiżowe festiwale filmowe są niedostępne dla zwykłych ludzi. Trzeba mieć na nie zaproszenie lub zdobyć akredytację, która może być bardzo droga. Istnieje jednak mnóstwo innych, mniejszych, ale równie interesujących festiwali filmowych, na które każdy entuzjasta kina może się wybrać. Czy interesowałby cię udział w którymś z nich?
