Overview

Ale Kino! is the second-oldest film festival in Poland and the second-oldest youth film festival in the world, held annually in Poznań since 1969. It showcases ambitious international feature films, animations, and documentaries for children and young people, many of which are award-winners from Cannes, Berlin, or Venice that rarely enter wide theatrical distribution. The festival is notable for its unique model where young audiences serve on juries to decide awards like the "Golden Goats," and it significantly impacts the circuit by promoting quality cinema for youth across Poland through its "Ale Kino! on Tour" initiative.
