Manifesto
Warsaw Glitch exists for the author. Generative tools are changing how film and animation get made, and changing faster than the industry can agree on what to do about it. We believe they multiply what a creator can do, and take nothing from what actually moves an audience: the vision, the sensibility, the life behind the work.
So we are not staging another debate about the future of the screen. For three days, creators from this part of Europe sit down at the same table as the global media, technology and entertainment industry, and we give them somewhere to work: screenings, workshops, an industry forum, and the evenings where productions begin. This is not a place where people talk about what is coming. It is a place where it gets made.
