This year’s edition focuses on the future of cinema and the role it will play over the next decade, in the context of streaming platforms, hybrid distribution and changing models of participation in culture. In a world of ageing societies, accessibility is becoming indispensable for full participation in culture, with cinemas serving as local, inclusive community centres.

The programme of the Forum prioritizes scaling accessibility, as it shows how local social innovations, such as Cinema Without Barriers, can be transformed into systemic solutions at the national and European level. The programme includes panel discussions and expert talks, hands-on and foresight workshops, presentations of good practices selected in the Open Call, as well as one-to-one meeting with experts.

The Forum covers a range of issues, such as public policies and financing accessibility, film education for children and young people, representation of persons with disabilities in cinema, designing accessible and safe film events, or the use of new technologies. A number of accompanying events are scheduled as well: a pre-release screening of the film There Are No Ghosts in the Apartment on Dobra Street and meeting with the filmmakers, networking events, as well as a ceremony recognizing distributors with awards and incentives, combined with a review of films from the ReelAbilities festival in New York.

Forum Without Barriers is a space for genuine dialogue and cooperation, aimed at supporting systemic changes in Polish and European cinematography—with a view to creating accessible, inclusive cinema that is ready for the challenges of the future.
