O!PLA FOCUS ON POLAND vol.12 is an exceptional programme presenting the winners and selected films of the 12th O!PLA Animation Festival (2024) – the biggest festival in Poland focused on Polish animation. (O!PLA means “Oh! Polish Animation”, but also: “Oh! People Love Animation”) As always the only Jury at O!PLA was the audience.

O!PLA FOCUS ON POLAND is an annual prestigious selection; an amazing mix of techniques, styles, and emotions showing what happens in modern Polish animation, but from a completely different, surprising angle.
