International Festival of Film Producers REGIOFUN

The International Festival of Film Producers REGIOFUN is the only event in Poland, and one of only three in Europe, devoted to the films created thanks to the support from Regional Film funds and financial assistance from cities.

In Katowice, for five October days, the viewers have an opportunity to watch the most interesting features, shorts, documentaries and animations from all over the world, which could never have been realized if it were not for modern ways of financing. From among thousands of titles, we carefully select those pictures which can delight and stir the audience, amaze them or amuse.

Moreover, REGIOFUN is a place of meetings and discussions for producers, directors, experts and representatives of Regional Film Funds from all over the world.
