During the festival closing ceremony the pieces could be heard from the films by, among others, Andrzej Wajda, Maria Sadowska; musical management of the project belonged to Bartek Staszkiewicz, and among others, the following artists performed on the stage of the Concert Hall: Gaba Kulka, Ten Typ Mes, Justyna Święs, Busłav.
According to the event organizer:
For the last three years the Cultural and Congress Centre Jordanki has functioned as the Festival Centre for the Tofifest International Film Festival.
It is an extraordinarily beautiful space, that can provide the setting for both concerts and film projections. Its important advantage, except for the attractive architecture, is its central location, which is of great importance for our event, as well as an exceptional team of employees of this institution.
