In 2019 Świdnicki Ośrodek Kultury and Wrocław Film Foundation as the organizers of the SPEKTRUM Film Festival in Świdnica and the ‘Okiem Młodych’ (‘The Youth Perspective’) International Documentary Film Festival decided to combine these two events into one.
Thanks to this, the SPEKTRUM festival has gained new competition sections for short films, all under the name ‘The Youth Perspective’ - the first of them is the Competition ‘The Youth Perspective’ for short fiction films - designed for creators up to 35 years of age; the second is the Competition ‘The Youth Perspective’ for short documentaries - where the age category is the same; and the Amateurs Competition ‘The Youth Perspective’ intended for authors up to the age of 21 (it is possible to short fiction, documentaries and animated films).
In the upcoming 2021 edition we decided to add the 'Youth Perspective' Competition - animation. It's aimed for the filmmakers under 35 years of age.
About the SPEKTRUM film festival in Świdnica:
The 7th edition will be the next meeting with the best cinema from the last few months and its creators. Our event is a celebration of artistic cinema, during which we watch the most interesting films from the passing season in Poland, Europe and around the world. SPEKTRUM is characterized by strict selection and careful selection. During the festival, we will watch about 60 short and full-length films. In addition, the festival will host many meetings with film stars, discussions and accompanying events.
