01 · what is BFF?
A festival for the stories outside the frame.
Bitcoin FilmFest is a Warsaw-born gathering for films, filmmakers, artists, builders and curious people who see Bitcoin as a cultural movement, not just a piece of technology.
It started in November 2022. Since then it has grown into the grassroots heart of Bitcoin cinema: one cinema, four days, screenings and conversations by day, long nights with people you did not know before the doors opened.
You do not need to be a Bitcoiner to come. You only need to be curious.
The last edition, BFF’26, in numbers
400+attendees
18titles presented
15+countries
500+Bitcoin & Lightning payments
Titles at different stages of development, including concepts.
