Film Song Festival Bydgoszcz 2026 Already in January

Vice Marshal Zbigniew Ostrowski attended the Film Song Festival, currently taking place in Bydgoszcz. The main partner of the event is the Kujawsko-Pomorskie regional self-government, whose grant amounts to PLN 1.2 million.

“We decided to support the festival financially to an even greater extent than last year due to the solid reputation this event has already gained. I would also like to point out that, in general, we invest heavily in building the film and music brand of our region,” emphasized Marshal Piotr Całbecki.

Six festival days are filled with concerts, meetings with stars, workshops, and pre-premiere film screenings. During the opening concert, songs by the legendary band Dżem were performed in new interpretations by Karolina Czarnecka, Dawid Karpiuk, and Tymon Tymański. Special guests included actor Tomasz Kot and Jan Kidawa-Błoński, director of the film “Skazany na bluesa” (Destined for Blues).

An important part of the festival are masterclass workshops for young creators. Sessions at Rother’s Mills (Młyny Rothera) will be led by renowned artists: Mieczysław Szcześniak (vocals), Tomasz Kot (acting), and Daniel Jaroszek (music video production). Rother’s Mills also host a festival village offering attractions for entire families, while the Municipal Cultural Centre invites audiences to pre-premiere film screenings.

The festival will reach its climax over the coming weekend (10–11 January). On Saturday, the audience at Opera Nova will hear songs from the latest cinema and TV series productions, performed by, among others, Ralph Kamiński, Kasia Sienkiewicz, Igor Herbut, Margaret, and Czesław Mozil. The concert “Songs Written by Film” will be hosted by Andrzej Konopka and Sebastian Stankiewicz, with special guests—well-known actors Marcin Dorociński and Adam Woronowicz. The event will be recorded by TVN and broadcast on Monday, 12 January at 8:55 p.m.

The festival will conclude with Sunday’s concert “Golden Notes of Cinema” at Opera Nova. Great Oscar-winning film hits will be performed by, among others, Natalia Kukulska, Anna Maria Jopek, Grzegorz Turnau, and Tomasz Organek. The stage will also welcome British pop star Calum Scott, singer and songwriter. His biggest hit, “You Are the Reason,” has surpassed one billion views on YouTube. In October, Scott released his third studio album “Avenoir,” which received enthusiastic reviews from fans and critics worldwide. At Opera Nova, he will be accompanied by musicians from Los Angeles, who have been performing at Oscar galas for many years.

The concert will be broadcast live on TVN and hosted by Grażyna Torbicka. It begins on Sunday, 11 January at 7:45 p.m.
