All the filmmaker are allowed to submit their works – professionals, film students and amateurs. The submitted material cannot be longer than 30 minutes. As always, the winning film is selected by a professional jury consisting of the renowned representatives of the film industry. In previous editions the films were evaluated by, e.g., Bartosz Konopka, Jacek Bławut, Pawel Łozinski, Tadeusz Sobolewski, Maciej Drygas or Roman Gutek. Among the Grand Prix winners there were: Piotr Sułkowski and his film “Rozmowa” (which was also appreciated at the prestigious festival “Młodzi i Film” in Koszalin), Grzegorz Zariczny and his documentary “Gwizdek” (also recognized during the Sundance Film Festival) and the last year’s winner, Jagoda Szelc, the author of “Punkt Wyjścia.”
The 8th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival “Okiem Młodych” is organized by the Świdnica Centre for Culture and the Wrocław Film Foundation. The deadline for submission is July 31, 2015 (date as postmarked).
