Warsaw, Poland · Est. 2022 · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
Tramway Film Festival is a Warsaw-based festival at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art that was created to fill a gap in Poland’s presentation of artistic cinema. It is notable for championing short-form auteur work, especially experimental, essayistic, hybrid, and avant-garde films, through international competitions and curated non-competitive programs. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its role in discovering and promoting emerging filmmakers with distinctive artistic visions, while bringing overlooked forms of short cinema into a dedicated showcase.
