We support Offeliada: a film festival in Gniezno

The Smuszkiewicz Gniezno Truck brand is among the sponsors of the 18th Offeliada Film Festival, one of the most important film events in Gniezno.

What Offeliada is

Offeliada is a four-day festival with competition and special screenings and meetings with filmmakers. It is organised by the Offeliada Association, and the event was co-funded by, among others, the City of Gniezno, the Wielkopolska Provincial Government and the Polish Film Institute. It is a place where young filmmakers show their work to a wide audience and meet established artists.

The final gala and awards

The awards gala took place on 9 November at the A. Fredro Theatre in Gniezno. The "Offelia" statuettes went to the makers of the best films in the fiction, documentary and animation categories, and the jury also awarded distinctions and special prizes. Every year the festival combines an intimate atmosphere with professional organisation and high attendance.

Why we support culture

As a Gniezno family business we invest in the local community not only through sport but also through culture. Festivals like Offeliada give space to young filmmakers, attract guests from outside the region and build Gniezno's image as a city open to the arts.

Gniezno, a city with culture

Gniezno, the first capital of Poland, is a place of great historical significance with an active cultural life. Offeliada fits that character well: it attracts artists and audiences from outside the region and raises the city's profile on the cultural map of the country.

Our community engagement

Offeliada is one of many events we support. We are involved in sport, including women's handball at MKS Gniezno, as well as in culture, because a company rooted in the local community should give something back to it.

Local means together

The growth of a company and the growth of a city can go hand in hand. By getting involved in sport and culture, we show that a business from Gniezno can give something of itself. Congratulations to the organisers and the winners, and we look forward to the next edition of Offeliada.
