    Abstract
    In the early 19th century £ód¼ became a huge centre of textile production. However, the transformations in Poland after 1989 led to the decline of this industry. At present the city is looking for new forms of development, such as services, including tourism and culture. One of the most important elements of the cultural function in £ód¼ are film festivals, based on over 50 year long tradition of film making in this city. The aim of this article is to present the film festivals organized in £ód¼, which are a tourist asset and a kind of tourist product (an event). They are at the same time an element of cultural tourism, part of which is event tourism, connected with festivals and film tourism.
