Thank you for joining 5th Heart of Europe!
0000: A record number of submissions, inspiring panels, and remarkable winners marked this year’s standout edition in Warsaw.
As the 5th edition of the Heart of Europe International TV Festival & Forum concluded in Warsaw, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all our partners, participants, and guests who joined us this year. Your passion and support made it all possible.
This year, Heart of Europe received a record number of submissions, showcasing the creativity and storytelling power of Central and Eastern Europe. The Heart of Europe continues to beat strong, attracting talented creators, writers, and producers from across the region.
This year’s Festival celebrated outstanding productions across six categories, featuring top works from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and beyond.
Parallel to the Festival, the Forum-an integral part of the Heart of Europe International TV Festival-served as a key event for film, series, and documentary creators. The Forum featured expert panels and curated discussions addressing the most relevant and pressing topics in today’s audiovisual landscape, with contributions from leading professionals across the industry.
A special thank you goes to our wonderful partners for their collaboration and support, especially the IMZ International Music + Media Centre. We were delighted to welcome Max Beckham-Ortner, Secretary General of IMZ, to the Quick Chat: Berlin Calling – Pitch Your Performing Arts Documentary, where he helped present new opportunities for documentary creators and fostered international exchange within the performing arts community.
