    LODZ: Thirty Polish short films are competing at the 8th Transatlantyk Festival in Łódź, running from 13 to 20 July 2018. The themes of this edition are Myself, Freedom, Rebellion and Motherland.

    Retrospectives of Milos Forman, Lucian Pintilie, Andrzej Barański and Sally Potter are also in the programme.

    The Transatlantyk Festival in Łódź is an artistic platform which uses music and film to create stronger relationships between people, art and environment, and to inspire discussions on current social issues.
