Especially for you, we have prepared a list of Polish cultural events of the highest level. We present it by sector of activity and in chronological order. This time, the WORLD LEAGUE category.
Opening Festival (Gdynia, 30/06-3/07)
This event opened a new chapter in the history of Polish festivals, which now attract the most famous popular music artists from all over the world. And she also announced times when not only Poles would travel abroad, but audiences from all over the world would start coming to us. Therefore, on the tenth anniversary of this year, each of the competing events should send congratulations.
malta festival (Poznan, 4-9/07)
From a street theater and alternative theater festival, it has become one of the most important theater events in the country. The hottest names from around the world, the latest trends and the biggest surprises. Additionally, there are concerts on Lake Malta and interesting activities in the urban area. A must-have for anyone who wants to stay tuned to the theater.
Outside of Festival (Katowice, 4-7/08)
A festival with the face of Artur Rojek, leader of Myslovitz, but also promoter of alternative music. It’s hard to imagine a more diverse and ambitious group of artists at a large mass event. It’s an insider’s festival and a journey through the entire off-scene, through all its unique worlds – from deliciously kitsch dance music to demanding metal music.
International Chopin Festival and its Europe (Warsaw, 16/08-3/09)
In just a few years, it has become one of the most important festivals in this part of Europe and one of the biggest cultural attractions of the summer season in Poland. Always open to musical discoveries, particularly in the field of interpretation on historical instruments. World piano stars (and others) have already enjoyed August’s arrivals in Warsaw. The public too.
Wratislavia International Cantan Festival (Wroclaw, 3-18/09)
It has remained an unwavering brand for almost half a century. The ongoing profile of the oratorio and cantata festival, where music from different eras up to the present day is performed, is interrupted by solo and chamber concerts. Participation of exceptional artists guaranteed.
Warsaw Film Festival (beginning of October)
The promotion to the elite class A of the world ranking of cinema events increased the already high position of the festival. And it also improved the quality of the titles of the first competitions. Winners can count on international recognition and even Oscar nominations. The festival also promotes Polish cinema strongly and effectively by organizing fairs and professional shows for foreign selectors.
International Theater Festival “Dialogue – Wrocław” (Wroclaw, 8-15/10)
It takes place every two years. Once a clash of theatrical East and West, a meeting of contrasting stage traditions, aesthetics and acting conventions. Today, in the era of globalization, it is simply a presentation of the most important events in the theatrical world of recent seasons.
Unhealthy festival (Krakow, 8-15/10)
In a few years he acquired such prestige and such a collection of original projects that he also participated in two subsequent editions in New York. In new areas of music (electronic, improvisation, dance scene, etc.) he is without equal in this part of Europe. Hence the unusual proportions between the Polish public and the exceptionally high number of foreign visitors, as well as the comments in the media around the world.
Joseph Conrad International Festival (Krakow, 2-6/11)
It is not devoted to the works of Conrad at all, but to world literature. The list of guests from the first two editions and the attendance at the meetings confirm that the atmosphere at the “Conrad” is truly global.
International festival of the art of filmmakers Plus Camerimage (Bydgoszcz, end of November)
The most prestigious of all Polish festivals. Major celebrities from Hollywood and the surrounding area come to give professional master classes to film school students. Wherever it takes place (it started in Toruń, then in Łódź and today in Bydgoszcz), it can always count on the support and favor of the community. The excellent selection goes hand in hand with the great ambition of its organizers.
