BellaTOFIFEST 2026: festival finale and Golden Angels

On 3 July 2026, the closing gala of the 24. BellaTOFIFEST International Film Festival took place at CKK Jordanki in Toruń. And so ended a week full of cinema, meetings, conversations, moving moments and a unique festival atmosphere.

This year’s edition ran from 27 June to 3 July 2026, and ELETOR was delighted to partner with BellaTOFIFEST for the third time.

At the gala, we learned the winners of the Main Competition On Air and the Polish Films Competition From Poland. The festival’s Grand Prix went to „A Light That Never Goes Out”, directed by Lauri-Matti Parppei, while „Dom dobry”, directed by Wojciech Smarzowski, won the Polish competition From Poland.

Among the artists honoured were Nastassja Kinski, who received the Golden Angel for Creative Nonconformity; Andrzej Konopka, awarded the Golden Angel for an Original Acting Performance; Bogusław Linda, presented with the „Thorunium” Medal of the Mayor of Toruń; and Łukasz Simlat, winner of the Marshal of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Film Award named after Pola Negri.

The evening concluded with a concert by Paulina Przybysz, „Inner Frame Special Project”, which brought this year’s festival to a beautiful close.

For ELETOR, partnering with BellaTOFIFEST means more than simply being present at a cultural event. It reflects our attachment to Toruń, the region and initiatives that create space for art, creative courage and encounters between passionate people.

We warmly congratulate the winners, organisers, creators, artists and everyone involved in preparing the 24. MFF BellaTOFIFEST.

Thank you for another wonderful festival week. See you at the next events! 🎬✨
