As part of the event, industry representatives from around the world attend closed screenings to learn about the latest Polish films at every stage of production: they watch completed films and fragments at the post-production stage, and they also listen to pitches about projects in development. Polish Days provide an excellent opportunity for filmmakers to promote their projects and find foreign partners. During the selection process, the organizers choose the most interesting films currently being produced in the Polish market. Projects presented in past years have included Woman On The Roof, Bread and Salt, Corpus Christi, Sweat, Prime Time, Dolce Fine Giornata, The Last Family, among others.
