We are all extraordinary in our unique ways, regardless of our abilities or disabilities. The Extraordinary Film Festival (TEFF) celebrates this diversity and promotes inclusivity, breaking down cultural barriers. Life can be both beautiful and challenging, and it’s in our shared humanity that we find strength and resilience.

This edition of the festival program features the Polish film “Mama wraca” by director Mikołaj Janik. The film will be shown in the short film section, followed by a meeting with the filmmakers.
