2 MONTAŻ FILM FESTIWAL is an international festival of short and feature films. Due to its special structure and very precise profile, it becomes a great alternative from other festivals. With honorary patronage of PSM (Polish Association of film Editors) we are able to reach professional polish and foreign film makers. media: Our main goal is to promote the art of film editing, exploring its secrets, introducing the artists, who deal with this craft on a daily basis. We seek to maintain an opinion among filmmakers that film editing is, as Orson Welles once said: The image itself is not enough- it s incredibly important, but it s just an image. The duration of each image on the screen and what happens afterwards is crucial. The whole storytelling process and message are both created in the editing studio

The Golden Scissors are the main award in Fiction, Documentary, Music Video and Trailer category given by the Jury. The Golden Cut Award is given by the votes of audience. Additional workshops, presentations and debating panels are going to deal with sound editing, special effects, color grading, post-production programs and new technologies concerning that matter.

6 RECOMMENDATION Jarosław Kamiński member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and European Film Academy, EFA. Editor of Oscar winner Ida Montaż Film Fest is an original festival which showcases the works of many aspiring filmmakers from Poland. The festival can be construed as a unique educational opportunity for young film-makers, allowing them the chance to confront their audience. Film editing is still a relatively unknown, yet fundamental element of cinema which has recently enjoyed a gain in prominence among film-goers. Without doubt, the art of film-editing deserves all the promotion it can get. Consequently, I give my support to the premise of organising a festival in the ilk of Montaż Film F e s t. T h i s e v e n t i s d e f i n i t e l y w o r t h recommending.
