The idea behind the International People’s Jury is simple – 12 Asian cinema fans (three from Poland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Finland respectively) meet in Warsaw at Five Flavours FF to watch and discuss titles of the New Asian Cinema competition section, and choose its winner. The jury deliberations are accompanied by workshops of festival and journalistic skills.
During an 8-day intense stay in Warsaw, Jury members will have a chance to widen their film horizons, improve their writing and editing skills, learn about different aspects of organizing a film festival, and participate in the dynamic festival life.
People’s Jury is dedicated to non-professionals interested in Asian cinema and culture.To become a member of the International People’s Jury, you are asked to discuss your favorite Asian movie in English, in 1500-1800 characters, and write a short cover letter.
