As always one of the highlights of the event was the annual forum of documentary and animated film organised by the Polish Filmmakers Association (SFP), where Polish film professionals and representatives of the Polish television (TVP) met to discuss the latest developments and challenges in the industry.

The Dragon of Dragons Award for the contribution into development of the world animated film went to Canadian-American animated filmmaker Caroline Leaf.
The festival also included an impressive industry programme with panels, conferences and a coproduction market.
