"For four years we have been celebrating +Polish Days+ on the occasion of the Greenpoint Film Festival. Every year we show more and more films, and at the same time there are more and more viewers. I consider it a great success. Now 19 titles have been submitted, 12 of which will be shown in competition screenings. All of them will be presented during the five days of the festival, from August 7 to 11, and especially on the weekend, because then they are also most popular with the Polish diaspora," Agata Drogowska, curator of the Polish section of the festival, told PAP.
In total, American audiences will be able to watch 118 of the 360 submitted titles.
