The Festival “Przepływy”

Welcome to festival „Przepływy”!

We invite you to the Festival „Przepływy,” which will take place from September 12–14, 2025, in the picturesque Port Cigacice and on the adjacent 6-hectare grounds. This unique event, marking the end of the course year, combines culture, dialogue, and art, blending into the traditional rhythm of the region’s ceremonial customs and the Winobranie festival in Zielona Góra.

The Festival „Przepływy” includes:

• Outdoor Cinema and Film Club: Screenings of documentary and reportage films created during international gatherings at the International Meeting House (MDS).
• Meetings with Creators and Experts: Panels featuring film creators, local community leaders, filmmakers, and local government representatives, fostering engaging discussions.
