Set in Bison's wildlife area of Podlasie (it is not a joke). It is winter festival, it is pretty cold here, but we are the polish vodka capitol. 9000 festival-goers every year can confirm it.
Screenings are in art-house cinema running ourselves (450 seats) and local clubs, galleries and regional town around. Podlasie is one of the wildness and the most beautiful part of Poland. Our city doesn't has an airport, cause the new one is in progress. Bialystok is easilly accessible from Warsaw (where are two airports: Okecie - regular and charter flights and Modlin - low-cost airlines. From main station running daily around 14 trains and more buses to Bialystok what takes approx. 2 hours) and Kaunas in Lithuania (by bus approx. 3 hours)
Every year, instead of competitive 3 section (national, international and post-soviet competition called Window to the East) we do focuses on a regions. Total amount of awards is 15 000 EURO. Grand Prix is 2 000 EURO.
