Futurological Film Festival: 10 Animation Films for the First  Łódź Edition

The base of the new International Futurological Film Festival is the international competition dedicated entirely to the movies of futurological and science fiction topics. The Patron of the Festival is Stanislaw Lem, a Polish writer of science fiction and futurology subjects. In 2021 we celebrate the 100th-anniversary of his birthday.

A 3-person jury consisting of lecturers from the Lodz University of Technology and the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz will award their prize. The Festival Audience will also give their Award.

As part of the accompanying screenings, a program of short animated adaptations of Lem's works will be presented.
