The LFF All Year screenings are a reminder of selected festival hits connected by theme, form or idea.
More than often we have impression that our world, which we try to understand, is accelerating, and we are no longer able to follow new phenomena and trends. Or maybe we are the cause of this crazy rush, maybe we have lost patience and inner peace forever? These (and many other) dilemmas are themes of the films presented at the Lublin Film Festival All Year series, this time called: Crazy World.

Curator of the screening: Andrzej Rusin
