EnergaCAMERIMAGE FESTIVAL IN TORUŃ HONORED ONCE AGAIN!

Thursday April 13th, 2023

We are pleased to inform that the EnergaCAMERIMAGE Festival has been included in the list of 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2023! The list was prepared by MovieMaker, the American film magazine, and the FilmFreeway platform. It is the second honor we received this year. In March, we were also included in the list of this year’s 20 Essential International Film Festivals in the World.

The ranking, compiled by Tim Molloy (the editor-in-chief of MovieMaker magazine) and his team, includes a list of 50 film festivals taking place in the best world destinations, favouring moviemakers and satisfying audiences. The magazine’s team investigated the quality of the presented films taking into consideration the prices of tickets and entry cards, as well as the opportunities of gaining new connections in the industry, recognition and awards – all that was analysed in relation to the incurred costs of movie selection. The list includes film events from the whole globe, with only two of them held in Poland, which makes us all the more proud.

In the justification we can read: Given its astonishing guest lists — attendees have included cinematographers Roger Deakins and John Toll, directors Denis Villeneuve, David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino, and stars Richard Gere, Keanu Reeves and Jessica Lange — you might assume this cinematography-focused festival is impossible to get into. But EnergaCAMERIMAGE is dedicated not just to celebrating the established masters of cinematography, but passing on wisdom to the next generation. The festival draws wide attention from press and distributors — including Netflix, Warner Bros., Disney, Sony Pictures Classics, HBO, and Amazon — because of its unique focus on films’ visual, aesthetic and technical values, with a strong emphasis on international moviemaking. It makes travel easy by generously providing airfare, lodging and local transportation. As if you needed any more incentive, Toruń is known as the city of angels and gingerbread. Some of its key ingredients are found in the forests and fields near the city along the Vistula river. And the Toruń angel stands watch over the city, welcoming the best and most promising new artists behind the camera.

MovieMaker, a film magazine and website with its headquarters in Los Angeles, compiles its annual list based on surveys, filmmaker testimonials, and visits to festivals. Key considerations include how much assistance a festival provides to traveling filmmakers, recent premieres at the festival, opportunities to meet distributors, fans, fellow filmmakers and press, and whether festivals are Academy®-qualifying.
