Have you ever wondered who are the people behind PÖFF competition programmes?
Our festival programmers are the key figures who curate and select the films presented at PÖFF. They shape the festival's artistic vision and thematic focus. They evaluate hundreds submissions, considering artistic quality, originality, and cultural relevance to craft a diverse and impactful lineup. Through their choices, programmers not only seek talent but also mediate emerging cinematic voices, fostering a space for storytelling and cross-cultural exchange.
