We present here selected feature films, animations and shorts. It is encouraging that many of them are debuts and second films. We will soon be able to see them in competitions and prestigious sections of international film festivals. In 2012, the Polish audience clamoured for ambitious and artistically valuable cinema. More than 1.2 million viewers for the Oscar-nominated In Darkness by Agnieszka Holland, and nearly 1.5 million viewers in Leszek Dawid's second film are a cause for joy and satisfaction. Hundreds of thousands of spectators at films by Wojciech Smarzowski, Małgorzata Szumowska and Piotr Trzaskalski show that it is the beginning of a lasting trend. We are impatiently looking forward to their next projects. Contemporary Polish cinema is very varied. Its creators are looking for answers to niggling questions, often addressing important social issues in a historical context. These questions concern timeless and universal topics – tolerance, human rights, respect for the different. I believe that with this ‘New Polish Films’ publication, you will discover in Polish cinema something intriguing, surprising and inspiring. I warmly invite you to see those films that will help you become friends with Polish cinema for a longer time. agnieszka Odorowicz General Director of the Polish Film Institute fCONtENts fINDEX www.pisf.pl/en/ NEWPOLIsHFILMs2013 FEaturEs FEaturEs 5 www.pisf.pl/en/ NEWPOLIsHFILMs2013 FEaturEs fCONtENts fINDEX aftermath Pokłosie COLOUR, 109 MIN POLAND – NETHERLANDS – RUSSIA – SLOVAKIA 01 Władysław Pasikowski Born in 1959.

He has many wonderful friends and an endless array of adoring women. But whenever he sobers up, his buddies are gone, and the women prove to be reluctant to give him unconditional love; all that remains is a throbbing hangover. His alcoholic binges eventually land him in a court of law, and then he no longer has a choice: he has to go into therapy. He goes to his anti-alcohol treatment, hoping to receive a solution that will make all his problems disappear. unfortunately the therapist staff has only one goal: to scam the poor patients for as much money as possible.

A film about the coincidental meeting of people who, for reasons of their own, dislike following trails set by others. They want to seek happiness on their own terms, not those dictated by anyone. This is also a film about love, or rather about what to do to protect ourselves from love, because love can be greedy, selfish, and no good can come of it. Love contradicts independence, therefore it couldn’t possibly be an ingredient in the recipe for happiness planned by our protagonists. A film about whether it’s possible to steer clear of love with just little crushes, or does it always have to end in an avalanche when real emotions are involved. fCONtENts fINDEX Christina Hadjicharalambous Born in Nicosia (Cyprus), works in Athens and Belgrade.
