OPENING NIGHT GALA: Friday October 17

Celebrate the Opening Night of the Polish Film Festival with a complimentary drink on arrival and post-screening catering provided by Schnitz.

A heartwarming, intergenerational road comedy about love and courage to pursue dreams at any age. Blending humour with emotional depth, OFF WE GO is a poignant reflection on the messy, beautiful ride we call life — and a reminder to live fully, here and now.

When Elżbieta begins to experience memory lapses, her loving husband Józef decides to fulfill her long-held wish for a journey through Poland. With help from their granddaughter and a quirky neighbour, the couple "borrows" a vintage van and embarks on an adventure filled with unexpected encounters and touching moments. Determined to experience the trip on their own terms — to laugh, take risks, and love as if they were twenty again — they journey through Poland’s diverse landscapes and their own past, celebrating life, love, and rekindling family bonds.
