Join us at Ale Kino! Pro – the event for filmmakers and creators in young audience cinema

Ale Kino! Pro is here—a must-attend event for anyone passionate about cinema for young audiences. At Ale Kino! Pro, we have been championing the growth of Polish cinema for young audiences for years. The event is a hub for debate and exchange of ideas, bringing together filmmakers, critics, cultural animators, and anyone invested in youth culture. Our mission is to create a collaborative space where professionals can share knowledge and experiences.

Today, we kick off with a Pitching Forum spotlighting new Polish productions for young viewers and film initiatives aimed at educators and creators. Events during Ale Kino! Pro will take place at Scena Wspólna and CK Zamek. Detailed information about the program is available on the Ale Kino! Pro event page.

This year’s Ale Kino! Pro will focus on setting standards for working with children and youth on set, alongside showcasing various aspects of film education. The program features creative workshops for film critics and educators, panel discussions, case studies, and masterclasses.
