34th Seattle Polish Film Festival turned out to be a great success. About twelve hundred people attended the screenings, which was twice as much as the previous year. The Seattle Mayor, Katie B. Wilson, attended the opening ceremony, and she proclaimed October 23rd, 2026 to be the Seattle Polish Film Festival Day. We showed four short and nine full feature films. Five guests from Poland, cinema professionals, arrived to be present at the screenings of their films, and to answer viewers questions. The Viewers’ Choice Award, decided by viewers’ votes, was given to Piotr Domalewski’s masterpiece “The Altar Boys”.
We would like to thank everyone for coming to the festival to see the films. We would like to thank the SIFF staff for their help and support. We hope that the 2027 35th Seattle Polish Film Festival will be even a greater success, and all of you will return to experience the magic of Polish cinema.
And we would like to thank our guests Agata Turkot, Martyna Byczkowska, Maria Sobocińska and Piotr Domalewski for attending the festival.
