Teens
Ale Kino! is a place where you can experience unforgettable moments and step into the world of cinema!
You can watch funny, interesting, and surprising films from various countries around the world. You’ll get to know the daily lives of your peers, sometimes from places very close to you, and other times from completely exotic locations. You’ll learn about what their everyday life looks like, what they dream about, what challenges they face, and what they enjoy. You can come to the cinema with your family, bring friends, or other people close to you.
But watching films during the Ale Kino! Festival is not all! Check out how you can take part in the festival and in the projects that lead up to it:
If you’re between 11 and 13 years old, you can:
-
apply to be on the Teen Jury for feature films
-
apply to be on the Teen Jury for short films
-
join the Ale Kino! Club
Ale Kino! Club
This is a place for those who love cinema and want to actively co-create our festival.
The Club started its activity in July by hosting four days of short film screenings, discussions, and selecting a few titles to be shown during the 43rd edition of the Ale Kino! Festival.
We invited young people aged 11 to 13 to join the Club, and we met at Scena Wspólna in Poznań. We will keep you updated about future Club activities. Stay tuned!

Ale Kino! Festival
During the Festival, you’ll discover a unique film program! You’ll find the most exciting cinema from around the world—funny, surprising films that spark great conversations with friends. We also offer a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking during meetings with directors and creators, and to see the world from every possible perspective.
As a member of the festival audience, you can vote for the best film of the Festival and help decide which feature film receives the Audience Award.
And if you’re a true film lover and want to watch at least five films, you’ll be able to purchase a festival pass.
Set aside the last week of November for an unforgettable time in the cinema!
43rd Ale Kino! Festival will take place on November 23rd-30th, 2025, in Poznań!
