Poland’s Tauron American Film Festival will celebrate its 17th edition from Nov. 17-22 – and its industry sidebar U.S. in Progress will, once again, connect European buyers and Polish post-producers with American indie filmmakers.

“I’ve attended three times, and each time something essential to the films came out of the experience. I was in a long-running competition with Pete Ohs for who could keep up the longest streak, which I ultimately lost,” laughs director Rob Rice.
