Recently, the first Bitcoin Film Festival took place in Warsaw, Poland, in March, attracting Bitcoin supporters and movie fans from around the world. The festival, held at the historic Kinoteka Theatre in the Palace of Culture and Science, celebrated the cultural movement that underlies the digital network of Bitcoin. The event featured renowned filmmakers who have been involved in the Bitcoin film community since the inaugural BitFilm festival in 2015, such as Tomer Kantor, who continues to create Bitcoin-related movies.
One of the highlights was the premiere of the documentary “The Bitcoin Farmer” presented by Cointelegraph, which showcased the process of mining bitcoins in Ireland using renewable energy. The festival also utilized the Bitcoin crowdfunding platform, Geyser Fund, to hold a campaign where Remi Baillieux’s “The Satoshi Mystery” won the community voting segment. Additionally, Pierre Corbin raised satoshis for his second documentary about Bitcoin, “The Battle for the US Dollar.”
The festival coincided with a Libertarian conference in Warsaw, and there are plans to potentially change the location for the 2024 installment. Despite the current bear market, Bitcoin enthusiasts continue to demonstrate their unwavering passion for the digital asset through their creative endeavors in film production.
