the best stories are timeless

The Timeless Film Festival Warsaw (April 8-14, 2024, Warsaw, Poland) puts into motion the classics that continue to shape the tastes of audiences. Cinema’s past is not only the history of masterpieces, but also a host of dead ends and aesthetic revolutions. The festival combines fire and water: it presents the canon and questions it, shows renowned films after restoration in the best quality available, and negotiates a place for new filmmakers who are lesser-known in Poland.

The festival program will include retrospectives of outstanding auteurs of Polish and international cinema (among them the legendary British duo Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger), a rich representation of genre cinema, surprising juxtapositions of films and phenomena, sections devoted to avant-garde and animation artists, documentaries about cinema, and one-of-a-kind events such as a screening of Miloš Forman’s Amadeus with live music and choir at The Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera.
