Some of the best symphonic music today is composed for film, and it often goes without due recognition outside the world of cinematography. Luckily, since it can and does stand alone, film music concerts and festivals have grown substantially in popularity. This annual festival devoted to music specifically composed for, or popularised in, films has become one of Poland's most recognisable cultural exports, featuring a rich programme of live performances, open-air film screenings, and festival cycles like 'Dance2Cinema,' 'Scoring4Polish Directors' and 'Cinema Chorale.' As the festival evolves and grows it is also expanding its horizons beyond music exclusively from films to music from TV dramas, computer games and other sources within audiovisual culture. 

2025 marks the 18th edition of the festival, and will be headlined by 'La La Land in Concert' - a live orchestral performance of the film's music as the movie screens at Tauron Arena. The festival typically takes place at multiple venues around the city, including Fabryczna 13, Galeria Kazimierz and Tauron Arena. The full programme can be found online.
