OUTRIDERS FESTIWAL
24 27 JUNE
ŻYRARDÓW

OUTRIDERS FESTIVAL – IS A STORYTELLING FESTIVAL THAT BRINGS THE WORLD CLOSER TO YOU – TROUGH STORIES.

It explains particular phenomena. Shows scenarios for the future and enables you to take a closer look at what is happening now – locally and globally. Stories can change the world. Passed from mouth to mouth, uploaded on social media, captured in photos. They build order, shape narratives, and allow us to form our opinions.

Lineup

The festival program will be announced in April!

NEW EVENT FOR NEW TIMES

For most of us, the borders of the “world” are now determined by the kitchen and the nearest grocery store. Over the years we have been great beneficiaries of cheap flights, fast travel and general frivolity. And as we started the serious discussion about the climate crisis, a pandemic came.

After more than a year of closure, I think we all want to live a bit. Don’t think about the problems. About whether we will be closed again in the fall. However, it can all be combined. First of all – you have to meet. And enjoy a common presence. Make up for the outstanding months. Hear about what is happening in the world. See stories we haven’t seen before.

Today we learn from each other, from the media, influencers, brands and streaming platforms. We follow the creators, we create ourselves, we watch and take pleasure in a good story. And as they say, “a good story can change the world”.

This festival is difficult to describe in one word (although many would like to). The easiest way – do you like good movies, series, comics, reportages, books? We invite you. Do you create them? Come on!

Outriders Festival is a festival of artists and good stories.

WHERE?

Let’s meet in Żyrardów in Poland. 40 minutes from Warsaw.

We are going to meet in Żyrardów, a surprising city, established at the beginning of the 19th century as a place to live for workers of a linen factory. It makes the city's architecture very unique and different from most of the towns in Poland. Moreover, the first women's strike in Poland took place in Żyrardów.

Meetings during the festival will take place, among others, in the Len Cinema, the Linen Factory, the Resursa and the Park. Besides, we also want to make the most of the city's various spaces and give it a unique character during the festival.
