From April 14 to 16, 2025, Gdynia became a hub for cinematic reflection and dialogue during the Gdynia Film Criticism Days – a unique event that combined film screenings with in-depth discussions led by some of Poland’s most respected film critics and cultural commentators.
In Gdynia, an extraordinary project is underway that uses VR technology to engage people with the city’s history and local identity: Gdynia in Virtual Reality – 100 Years of City Rights. The project uses 360° film and virtual reality technology to present Gdynia at the time when it was granted city rights.
The Millennium Docs Against Gravity Film Festival has just concluded its 10th edition in Gdynia. This year also marked the 22nd edition of the festival overall, making it one of the longest-running film events in Poland. Once again, the festival found a perfect home at the Gdynia Film Centre.
