About the Festival

The Washington Polish Film Festival (WPFF), presented by the Kosciuszko Foundation, DC Chapter, now brings another important cultural event to the nation's capital.

Doppelgänger
(Sobowtór)

Doppelgänger
(Sobowtór)

Winner of multiple awards at the Gdynia Film Festival, including best director, best supporting actor, and best cinematography, this is a riveting psychological thriller, set in the late 1970s when spies from the Polish People’s Republic were stealing identities in the West. More John le Carré than James Bond, the characters’ actions ultimately reveal much more than we expect.

The Balcony Movie (Film Balkonowy)

The Balcony Movie (Film Balkonowy)

Can anyone be a movie hero? Can the world be locked in one film frame? Director Paweł Łoziński is watching people from his balcony as they are passing by: sad, thoughtful, glued to their phones, young and old.

Scarborn
(Kos)

Scarborn
(Kos)

Winner of the Best Film award at the Gdynia Film Festival, Kos, set in 1794, tells the story of General Tadeusz “Kos” Kosciuszko’s return to Poland from his support of George Washington and the American Revolution, with a plan to ignite an uprising against the Russians. He is being pursued by the vicious Russian cavalry captain, Dunin, who intends to stop him at any cost.
