Paris for those in love, Brussels for chocolate lovers, Rome for those fascinated with history. The picturesque, historical Toru\u0144<\/strong> is a place which ideally combines all these things. A city famous for delicious gingerbread cakes, boasting the magical Old Town inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, it delights its visitors with the original architecture of the Gothic townhouses, churches and red-brick townhall. The night panorama of Toru\u0144<\/strong> is considered as one of the seven wonders of Poland.<\/p>\n

In the silence of the medieval nooks and crannies, in the art galleries, museums, cafes and pubs hidden among the old walls tourists can breathe the atmosphere of the times of Nicolaus Copernicus, who was born here. The figure of the famous astronomer, his birthplace house, his impressive statue situated in the Old Town Square, are attracting annually over 2 million visitors.<\/p>\n

Every year, numerous renowned festivals of theater, art, music, film, classical and contemporary art take place here. Every weekend you can attend an interesting concert, exhibition or spectacle.

Last year\u2019s EnergaCAMERIMAGE Film Festiva<\/strong>l proved to fit perfectly into this cultural landscape of Toru\u0144<\/strong>, organizing its 27th edition in the city space and having CKK Jordanki<\/strong> as the main Festival Center. Everything now indicates that it will stay here longer. Plans related to the establishment of a new cultural institution, the CAMERIMAGE European Film Center<\/strong>, and in the long run building a new venue that meets the needs of the Festival and serves the residents of Toru\u0144<\/strong> as an unforgettable meeting place with the motion pictures, let us believe that EnergaCAMERIMAGE<\/strong> has finally found its safe haven where we will have the chance to further develop our festival and non-festival projects.<\/p>\n
