The British star, who brought Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective into the 21st century, will be presenting his new short film Little Favour to a Polish audience.

Fellow Briton Mike Newell, director of such diverse movies as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and mafia classic Donnie Brasco, is on the jury of the main competition this year.

The so-called 'Making Way' contest looks to celebrate emerging international talent, and only directorial debuts or second films can be entered.

Other jurors include thrice Oscar-nominated US actress Joan Allen and 'Queen of the Indies' Parker Posey, who has played in cult movies such as Dazed and Confused, Basquiat and Best in Show. Veteran Polish actor and director Jerzy Stuhr will chair the jury
