In this year’s catalogue of the Market there are about two hundred and fifty films, carefully

We are immensely glad of the fact that the selection of the most interesting documentaries

On behalf of the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival – Images of the 21st Century and
the Thessaloniki Doc Market, we are very happy to continue this collaboration with
the Krakow Film Festival.
This year, in the 16th Thessaloniki Doc Market, several Polish documentaries were included
and were greatly accepted by the participants of the Thessaloniki Doc Market. The Doc Market
was fully digitalized and this fact gave the opportunity to the participants to watch much more
titles than previously.
Every year, more than 500 documentaries are included in the Doc Market’s catalogue and
with the support of the Media Program of the European Union. We are very happy that the
Greek documentaries are included in this year’s Market of the Krakow Film Festival and we
hope that this will give a chance to all participants to experience the latest Greek documentary
productions in a period where the Greek cinema is exporting a great number of features and
documentaries to all major festivals worldwide.

EX ANIMO
NIKOZI 2008
Wojciech Wojtkowski observes the nature
of movement in his animation. ‘Ex Animo’
combines peculiar, continually transforming,
creatures in one space. This visually captivating
graphic animation which brings to mind
engravings from old anatomy books is a selfreferential impression on the creative potential
of animation and the need of constant movement
engrained in the universe.
During the five days of the Russian-Georgien war
in August 2008, 32 bombs fell on the thousandyear-old Nikozi Monastery. Miraculously, none
of the Monastery’s residents died. The sand
animation ‘Nikozi 2008’ is dedicated to the fifth
anniversary of the Russian-Georgian war. In the
free associative manner, the film tells about the
peace, about the tragedy of war and the revival.

HAIR
DE TERRE ET D’ENCRE
FROM EARTH AND INK
Sitting on a bench in a park, a local hair collector
is waiting until the yet another trophy falls into
his hands. An unruly strand of hair that flew out
into the open is caught in its flight, placed in a
small bag and carefully catalogued. Each hair
leads to a different story about erotic games and
desire. The most recent animation by Delphine
Hermans is an amusing portrait of a town
inhabited by hair lovers who never stop to spin
their hairy fantasies.
Made using two animation techniques and set
in two time and space dimensions, Laskar’s
film describes a difficult relationship and the
complicated life of a couple. The man tries to
get closer to his pregnant spouse. All attempts
aimed at intimacy between the two end up with
disappointment and emptiness. The physical pain
of dealing with a crisis in a relationship can be
felt in ‘From Earth and Ink.’

THROUGH
THE HAWTHORN
THE PRESENT
Sam is schizophrenic and his mother is not
able to deal with her son’s illness. They attend
family therapy sessions run by a psychotherapist.
The divided screen becomes an area of conflict
for various opinions and a meeting point for
different perspectives. Voices vanish in a distance
and bright ornaments tantalise the eyes. In just
a moment the area of rational thinking will be
limited by dark spots. This unique triptych,
based on the book Henry’s Demons by Henry and
Patrick Cockburn, records an attempt at defining
the illness in three different dimensions.

IMPOSTEUR
IMPOSTOR
INVIGILO
One evening, a humanoid buck sneaks into
a household and attacks a man standing in the
door. He knocks him out, drags the body to
the woods and takes over his identity by taking
his head. Eager for more, he goes back home
and sits down to dinner with his family. In the
meantime, the man lying in the forest regains
consciousness. ‘Impostor’ is a gloomy anecdote
about an unexpected change of roles and animal
instincts that may get the upper hand over reason
and attachment.

Karolina Specht’s animation portrays a man who
was born without his own shape. One day, his
family home became too small for him and work
suddenly failed to ensure sufficient freedom
for him. Pushed into subsequent forms shaped
according to the expectations of others, he took
time to grow to overcome them. The film is about
the expansiveness inherent to the human nature,
which, just like the brutal law of the jungle,
guarantees success only to the strongest.

In abstract space every movement leaves visible
shape. There is a precise trajectory leading from
point A to B and marking each, even the smallest,
shift. As time passes, accumulating traces make
constellations that shimmer with the multitude
of colours and shapes. Reality becomes split and
colourful spots vibrate with increasingly greater
frequency. The film is a story about concealed,
parallel narration.

CONFUSION
THROUGH SAND
ŁAŹNIA
BATHS
A throbbing roar of a military helicopter can be
hear in a desert settlement. Nineteen-year-old in
a uniform puts his skills, acquired in a military
training, to the first test. He is straining his ears
in silence with rising fear. Run, when you hear a
shot! The labyrinth of buildings is a trap with no
way out. Danny Madden’s animation is a dynamic
mirage of shapes and sounds which show fear and
the feeling of being cornered in a suggestive way.
Two old swimmers meet at the public baths for
their ritual swimming session. This time they are
diving deeper than usual. ‘Baths’ is a short film
about the dynamics of life based on a dualistic
philosophy, constantly oscillating between two
extremes: fantasy and reality, life and death, body
and cinsciousnes, past and future. It explores the
classical subject of the relationship of a person to
his own space and time.

SPIDER AND FLIES
Dark, yet spiced with black humor love story told
form the edge of reality and nightmare. Main
character, rejected by cold and demonic woman
of his dreams embarks on a surreal and oneiric
journey towards his fate, following a mysterious
crescent moon. The world of ‘Moonshine’ is
created from the mixture of three techniques –
flat animation, 3D and live acting. On a backdrop
of black and white photography the characters
– actors as well as animated creatures – live
through their nightmare accompanied by equally
murky Tom Waits’s song ‘Way Down in The Hole.’

MAN MEETS WOMAN
‘I was here when someone killed my parents.
There was an awful mess’, says a girl to a white
rabbit. She asks why no one wants to take them
to heaven now. Submerged in absurd poetics
and full of psychedelic associations, the latest
animation by Stephen Irving, a director of
award-winning Moxie, takes the viewer onto
a metaphysical journey to the border between
life and death. It is a scary fairy tale that one
cannot stop watching.

infatuation and marital excitement, they gradually
start to experience claustrophobia living together.
The protagonist, jealous of his wife, finds it
difficult to separate the truth from illusion in his
mind full of racing thoughts. The latest animation
by Dmitry Geller is a dark story about an uneasy
feeling that unexpectedly found its fulfillment in
a display of strength, streaked with fear.

Brutus led a happy life next to Maleńka.
Returning home, he knew that he had to
scratch the door only once, very quietly, to
check whether she was really waiting for him.
Sometimes, when she was getting dressed
before the mirror, he could see two Maleńkas,
but after a while he understood that only the
one that smelled beautiful was real. ‘I belong
to her and I will never leave her’, he thought.
One day, following the order of the Protectorate
of Bohemia and Moravia, everyone unable to
prove their Aryan roots had to return their pets.
This was the day when Brutus’ life changed
completely.

Psycho-gimnastics. Psycho-drama. A narrated
animation in the form of a journal produced
as a combination of drawings and graphics.
An attempt to find visual equivalents for
decomposition and mental deconstruction of
personality/person as well as to show desperate
efforts aiming at its reconstructing, merging.
It’s a peculiar game of graphic representations
of mental states which accompany daily struggle
with reality, including questions such as: ‘who

In the middle of summer a forester visits a man
who reported that a bear destroyed his farm.
He wants to know exactly what happened.
Everything started with a wedding. While the
guests cried at the church, no one remembered
it later as vodka was poured like water. Although
the forest path seemed straight on the way back,
there was a sudden and unexpected change of
circumstances. Zofia Antoniak’s diploma film
is a funny anecdote about a spectacular clash
between man and the bear.

She, a shy beauty, and he, a bit awkward but
definitely romantic, are to meet on an island
suspended in the air. A moment before the
meeting and a step away from fulfilment,
stumbling blocks arise on the way. Emerged in
the graphic style of Giorgio de Chirico, the film
is a dynamic story of total disorientation and the
strength of an emotion which makes them face
more than one risky challenge.

SNOW HUT
A group of women with children are bathing in
the river. They are approached by a group of men.
Encouraged, one of them who is an alpha male
comes closer to one of the women. Rejection
results in violence. A brutal and, at the same time,
truly beautiful dance of naked bodies, silently
reflected in the water surface, begins. Inspired by
the behaviour of hippos, Dumała’s film illustrates
a gender clash and the rare dialogue of bodies
taking advantage of the enemy’s weaknesses.
A snow house stands in the centre of a rice
field. What shall one do in a space of white
and silence? Until spring, the snow hut melts
and loses its shape.

Harsh but poetic, the film is a treaty about the
desire of domination and violence as the driving
force of history, shown in the spectrum of grey.
After a great battle, the surrounding landscape,
devoured by great fire, looks apocalyptic.
Meaningless flags flutter in a dead field.
Sobczyk’s film presents history as a sequence of
recurring plagues and misfortunes where man,
trying to find his own place, gets lost even more
and falls even lower.

Over expensive massaging mats, pots costing
over 2000 EUR are only a few of the vast
spectrum of objects aggressively sold by
brainwashed salesmen at suspicious presentations
for old-age pensioners, a phenomenon widely
spread in Poland. Five female friends from a
Polish town strongly believe that offered products
can heal their illnesses and prolong their lives.
If you were to create something big, the biggest
in the world, what would that be? This is the
story of a Guinness record-breaking plastic statue
of Pope John Paul II. It was manufactured in
a ‘dinosaur factory’ and is now on display in a
park of sacred miniatures. The accompanying
paradoxes and surreal observations will tell us
a bit about how religious dreams and nightmares
come true at the same time.

EXPERIMENT
Music, people, environment. Three friends,
musicians create their personal Eutopia, in the
traditional village of Agios Lavrendios in Pilion,
the Music Village. Their aim, the creation of a
universal musical community. Their vessel, the
collaboration and mutual artistic experience.
Musical education is innovatively developed.
Which is the process of productive exchange
of ideas and projects among internationally
acknowledged participants? What is the
interaction with the local community?
To what extend is Freedom tolerable?
In 1989, Romania didn’t have a revolution –
it suffered a coup d’etat. The Romanian secret
police knew that it was coming and had time to
prepare for it. And so, in order to take advantage
of the opportunities that would be presented
by the free market, they started an experiment
to turn ‘socialist man’ into ‘capitalist man’: The
Bucuresti Experiment. The film follows the
first man to take part in the experiment, Andrei
Juvina. It looks at how the experiment destroyed
his relationship with his former partner, Carmen
Anton, a former popular singer.

Within a muted English suburban landscape,
Marylou, Fay, Florence and Elaine tell stories
expressing real hurt and disappointment. As they
tell these stories they knit and sew patchwork
blankets for men and women they do not know,
and whom we never see... forgotten communities
of Jews even now struggling to survive extreme
poverty and freezing temperatures in Eastern
Europe. In a poignantly funny chronicle a fragile
thread emerges to reveal a depth of feeling for
lost family and connections which crosses time

The ‘Stalin Town’ tells an epic story about
post-war Katowice. The author does not only
focus on the years 1953-1956 when a name of
the Upper Silesia’s capitol was changed to the
‘Stalin Town.’ The story line brings a broader –
cultural and historical – context. The 50
minutes long documentary takes us back in
history to show us a life of the Upper Silesians
in the postwar years including repressions
against the local middle class.
The main character, Rajmund Karkosz, a chemist
and a long serving employee of the Central
Mining Institute in Katowice was passionate
about an amateur movie making. Between years
1960-1981 he managed to create a private archive
consisting of almost 200 a few minutes long
films. The author recorded on the 8mm tapes
the so called ‘beautiful moments’ – meeting with
friends, important from his point of view scenes
from Katowice and a big gallery of his beloved
cats. Today Rajmund goes back to those old tapes
and memories. His camera serves as a witness of
the time’, places’ and people’s passing by.

Skornik is the name that went down in the

of martial arts which was later practiced by his
son, too. Today, the members of the youngest
generation of the Skornik family are at the start

EMBELLISH LIFE
The film uncovers the formidable capacities
of four Auschwitz survivors who courageously
walked through the horrors of their past. All now
in their eighties, they speak out and campaign
so that no one has to ever again experience what
they did. In their lectures, readings, concerts,
with their art and music, they express their
resolve for conciliation. The survivors show
that as well as the incalculable suffering of the
Holocaust, something else exists: the triumph
of humaneness over inhumanity.
‘Embellish Life’ in an optimistic documentary
about cancer and about the ways to deal with it.
We meet a young woman, Malika, her family and
relatives talking about the disease and their day
to day approach. Malika tells us her story, the
shock of the diagnosis and about various stages
of her fight against cancer. Malika’s participation
in prosaic situations such as making a cake,
having a drink with a friend, taking a walk, going
to a painting course, shows that she clings to life.
And the role of people around is to make her life
more pleasant. ‘Because of the disease, I have
a better quality of life,’ says Malika. Priorities
change, relationships are strengthened.

still doesn’t know how and why her husband
drowned at the former border; a third discovers

for the first time with images of the dead body

EUGÉNIOVÉ
EUGENIC MINDS
Kateřina Šedá, a figure of international renown,
enters with her social and art projects the life
of her native Brno–Líšeň and the neighbouring
Bedřichovice village. A montage of two parallel
and mutually intertwined concepts of Kateřina
Šedá focuses on her project from Morning till
Night commissioned by Tate Modern. This
project sent 80 inhabitants of Bedřichovice
village to London, where they spent their
Saturday, September 3rd 2011 the same way
as they would have spent it back home.
Selective human breeding during a time of
ideologies that promised to create a perfect
world. Eugenics was once considered more
groundbreaking than the invention of the
wheel. It was supposed to save mankind from
serious genetic loads. After World War II, the
term of eugenics almost disappeared from the
world’s dictionaries. Pavel Štingl revives the
idea of eugenics, but presents it as an example
of messianic syndrome and misuse of science.
Will humanity survive eugenics or vice versa?

THE FARMER
AND HIS PRINCE
In the times of the world financial crisis,
unemployment, migration, people search for
a new different world and a better life. In our
Western world, we are conditioned to believe in
a life of ‘Happily Ever After,’ which can be so far
from reality. We dare to believe promises. We
are seduced by commercialism. But is life better
in the end? We have been changed, we have lost
our ways and we can never return to our past.
The dark side of reality must get the respect it
deserves; there is no white without black, and no
happiness without understanding sadness. Our
fable introduces us to the most handsome man
in the world Ajang and the most beautiful woman
in the world, the temptress Achol. A journey from
the mythical Dinka world in South Sudan, to the
dreams of a new happy life in Norway.

THE ISLAND BUS
HOLANDA DEL SOL
15-year-old Saeed from Afghanistan took a boat
in Izmir to come to Europe. He made it. Just.
In view of the Turkish coast, Saeed strands on a
Greek island called Tilos. Fleeing a traumatic past
and after an arduous trip, Saeed is catapulted into
an island community with only 400 inhabitants
– and one bus. Stumbling his way into the island
customs, Saeed soon discovers that he might not
be the only one who is looking for a new home
on Tilos. The passengers on the island bus come
from over a dozen different countries, and like
Saeed, they also have stories of dislocation to tell.
Is it the place you find yourself in or the people
you meet on your journey that give you that
feeling of being at home?
Every autumn, Benidorm, a town on the Spanish
Mediterranean coast, becomes Mecca for Dutch
pensioners who come here for a few months to
enjoy the sun and the company of other people
of the same age. It might seem to be a genuine
paradise for seniors who can afford professional
care and various forms of entertainment thanks
to their generous pensions. But under the surface
of everyday observations there hides another
picture, one of lonely old people awaiting death.

Following World War II millions of people
were forcibly resettled to Upper Silesia and
immediately collided with the traditions of the
local population. However, even today, they
cannot seem to build any sort of community.
Since almost 70 years the traces of its former

inhabitants have either moved away or live in
seclusion. Now, the younger generations from
Upper Silesia want to know where they live.
But nobody wants to answer their questions.

Kisumu is the principle city of western Kenya
but despite its lucrative shipping industry
and thriving sugar plantations it is a hot bed
of poverty, corruption and tribal conflict. It is
also home to some of the largest populations of
street youths in Kenya. After losing both of his
parents at the age of eight, Mark Martin was
sent to live with his Aunt in a rural community
outside of Kisumu. Mark was unable to deal
with the pressures of living in his Aunt’s already
struggling home and he soon ran away for a life
on the streets of Kisumu. Twenty years later he
is still surviving on the streets but has started
seeking redemption within the community that
labeled him an outcast.
Northeast Thailand is the home of the legendary
Gwi people, an ancient tribe of elephant keepers
who have been venerated for generations because
of their unique culture and skills. Their daily
lives, social hierarchy and religious practices
were all defined by their relationships to the
land and elephants. As their landscape changes
ecologically and economically, so too do the Gwi.
As traditional elephant keeping becomes less
relevant to our global world and deforestation/
poaching threatens wild elephant populations,
Gwi culture has been effected and traditional
elephant keepers have become the subject of
complex controversy between animal rights
activists and natural historians/traditionalists.
Mahout: Changing reigns explores and documents
Gwi culture; past and present through the last
living docents of a bygone era.

ART WAR
EIN APARTMENT IN BERLIN
AN APARTMENT IN BERLIN
‘Art as a weapon!’ This motto still holds true
in Cairo. After 30 years of autocracy, President
Mubarak was swept away by his people. Now
the street belongs to them, the young rebels and
artists. Graffiti sprayers and painters make the
walls speak. They recount the days of fighting
in blood-smeared portraits, the time of anarchy
in wild collages, the attempts of liberation from
a suppressed sexuality in obscene pictures.
Walls become a chronicle of the rush of events;
electro pop and rap supply a thrilling soundtrack.
Euphoria is followed by overpainting and
destruction. Snipers are at work, aiming at the
protesters’ eyes. The revolution is no more
romantic than this underground art, whose aim
is to provoke and take risks, is accommodating.

DIRECTOR: MARCO WILMS
20.000 young Israelis live in Berlin today. Many
of them are attracted by its cosmopolitan and
international atmosphere and the low cost of
living. Berlin was also the place from which the
Nazis planned the systematic extermination
of the Jews. Does this matter at all to the
young Jewish generation? The Jewish family
Adler came to Berlin 100 years ago. The three
protagonists Eyal, Yael and Yoav live in Berlin
today. The film, intended as a journey to the past
for the young Israelis, turns into a multi-layered
and unexpected experience. Tied by a shared
history and the recollection of a former Jewish
life, the director and the young Israelis develop
a new understanding of their diverging positions.

MINERITA
A documentary triptych about a group of
homeless kids, who have survived their drugaddicted childhood, grew up and start to live
an adult life. It is a story about a boy facing the
surreal, degenerated society of his native village
full of hate and sadistic anger while searching for
his mother. Itís a story about a pregnant girl who
wants to give birth to her child whose childhood
probably will be even worse than hers. But her
own sisters are forcing her to make an abortion.
In Cerro Rico in Bolivia, in a mining settlement
located in a huge canyon, the local community
is governed according to its own laws. Because
of hard living conditions, even women and
children have to work in the mine. The worst
human instincts come to the fore at night. The
only defence of women against rape and assault
is dynamite. Minerita is a shocking testimony
to the life of women in a place that has become
a trap for them.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S TANGO
AM ANFANG
IN THE BEGINNING
Finns have a quirky sense of humour – and are
a bit shy. But: Tango is THE folk music of the
Finns. The documentary discovers the Finnish
tango from the viewpoint of the singer Chino
Laborde, the guitarist Diego ‘Dipi’ Kvitko and the
bandoneonist Pablo Greco. The three Argentine
musicians travel to Finland to find out whether
Aki Kaurismäki is telling the truth when he
asserts that tango music was invented in Finland.
‘In the Beginning’ is a calm examination of
a much-discussed field of medical research –
prenatal diagnostics. It is an intimate film about
love, hope and existential decisions. And about
the secret of human-becoming that pregnancy
remains even in an era of technical surveillance.

ONCE MY MOTHER
We do not really know our parents. This is what the
filmmaker persuades us to believe while trying to
find out why her mother left her in an orphanage
many years ago. Born in pre-war Poland, Helena
experienced orphanhood and homelessness herself,
went through a gulag and a period of wandering
around the world. Reconstructing her biography,
the director discovers the circumstances that
determined the lives of both women.

THE RED BANK. JAMES JOYCE:
HIS GREEK NOTEBOOKS
The attraction that Greeks exert on the Irishman
does not just relate to the ancient heritage and
its universal appeal. Besides the primal myth of
‘Ulysses,’ there is another issue: Greek language.
The author is led to it, by, in a sense, matching
myth and language, in a way that, although
seemingly unexpected, is entirely con-sistent
and effective. Joyce learns Greek. He learns to
write and speak it. Mando Aravantinou is correct
in maintaining that Greek is ‘the language of the
subject of Ulysses.’ This documentary aims to
register this somewhat unknown to most side
of the greatest novelist of the 20th century.

3 DAYS OF CINEMA
JA KOCHAM
I LOVE
Cinema Jenin has been designed as an escape
from everyday life between occupation and
resistance. A 24-hour trip right into a hot-spot of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Quernheim is the
smallest cinema-town of Germany. A cinematic
palace of dreams, sometimes more a pub than
a movie hall. The Croatian island Goli Otok –
a ruin with a bloody past. Memories of torture
in Marshal Tito’s concentration camp. And the
remains of what used to be a cinema, screening
news and propaganda films for guards and inmates.

‘I Love’ tells a story of a group of friends with
intellectual disability. Pure need for the dialog
among the main characters, brings the camera
to the role of a truthful listeners and trustee
of an emerging and changeable feelings and
relations. Paradoxically the ‘limited’ world of
people with intellectually dysfunctions, pictured
in the film, stimulates to the reflection about
the quality of our relations in friendship and
love. The main characters of ‘I Love’ give us
an opportunity for insightful, deeply affecting
journey of self-emotional discovery and laughter.

Main characters of the film are Polish political
prisoners deported in the first Transport to the
Auschwitz concentration camp. About three
hundred of them survived the camp, and a few
are alive today. It is made up of a record of a
journey along the route that the first transportees
travelled: from the prison in Tarnów to the final
stage; the memorial site, the former Auschwitz
death camp. It confronts historical relations
with contemporary imagery.
This documentary is about the djembe player
Michel Taliaferro. Michel is an unique figure who
plays in the New York City’s subway and has a
spiritual vision regarding his profession. The film
expandsthe conversation around art, economic
development and personal satisfaction.

This documentary tells the story of Abdul,
a sheikh from Yemen, Farid from Iran and Brian
from Cameroun, all refugees stranded in a remote
asylum-seekers’ residence in the small town
Belzig, Brandenburg. Over a oneyear period we
follow them in search of connections, education,
work, significance, love and the much longed-for
right of residence. Their preconceptions collide
with the idiosyncrasies of the Germans on village
fairs, Berlin’s night clubs and administrative
offices. ‘Land in Sight’ stands out through the
great closeness to its protagonists. Instead of
seriousness, the film wants to encourage laughter
– convinced that humor can convey a deeply
human perspective.

AEGEAN RHYTHM, LYRE
Four 84-year-old polyphonic singers go on the
road to give concerts and promote their first
and only record, meditating on a happier past,
a daunting present and a near death. A road
movie in space and time that, while going
forward to the concerts, goes backwards in
time through the stories in which the singers
reminisce their past and compare it with a
very different present, in the light of the final
disappearance of their musical tradition along
with their own fading-out memory.
Aegean Rhythm is the fruit of a great journey
in the Aegean islands and shores, in their music,
their culture and everyday life, given by the
untimely departed director Yiannis Lambrou.
With lyre instrument as a guide, we have traveled
also through Greek civilization in art and life, in
a way that only he could poetically manipulate
everyday life’s images. So, the F. Hölderlin’s and
Kostes Palamas’s verses amid traditional ones,
renew the everlasting meanings of life and love
in this Archipelago.

TWO AT THE BORDER
This feature length documentary explores
intimacy through various expressive art forms.
Based on travel journals, it takes us inside
Tomasz’s world, who travels to San Francisco for
the first time in his life. Followed by the camera’s
eye, we get to witness his process of experiencing
America. The story develops organically as he
establishes relationships with various people
who cross his path. Witnessing his intimate
encounters becomes the main point of the film.
‘Where should I go to live a normal life?’ asks
Naser, a Palestinian who, together with a Syrian
named Ali, illegally takes refugees over the
border from Turkey to Greece. For many, the
border crossing in Erdine has been the gateway
to Europe and a pass to a new life. People of
different nationalities pay them for help. Very
few of them realise that Naser and Ali, too, are
like them, refugees in search of a country that
will allow them to live a decent life.

STOP THE POUNDING
HEART
Student Council elections temporarily dominate
life at a primary school in Warsaw. Children
there get to announce their candidacy and come
up with campaigns to promote themselves. The
film follows candidates at school and at home
during this exciting campaign. They all have
their reasons for participating: one just wants
to win, while the other feels it’s important to be
properly informed. We watch as they present
their electoral viewpoints, with family members
getting involved and giving them advice at home,
and then as the candidates’ chances become
obvious during recess.
Sara is a young girl raised in a family of goat
farmers. Her parents homeschool their twelve
children, rigorously following the precepts of
the Bible. Like her sisters, Sara is taught to be
a devout woman, subservient to men while
keeping her emotional and physical purity intact
until marriage. When Sara meets Colby, a young
amateur bull rider, she is thrown into crisis,
questioning the only way of life she has ever
known. In a stunning portrayal of contemporary
America and the insular communities that dot
its landscape, ‘Stop the Pounding Heart’ is an
exploration of adolescence, family and social
values, gender roles, and religion in the rural
American South.

Marcin is 32 and a few years ago tried to commit
suicide when suffering from depression. He was
saved by a miracle. Soon after that he started
self-therapy. He knows that in these moments
loneliness and lack of understanding are the
worst things. We will be witnesses to Marcin’s

and those of others. We will be accompanying
Marcin during these encounters. It is also an
attempt to answer the questions: ‘Who attempts
suicide? Why do they do it, and are they really
different from other people?.’ ‘The Estate’ is a
portrait of Marcin, who leads us in to a hidden
world of loneliness, fear, shame and desperation.

UNDUE DEBT
The Orangerie: a unit in Luxembourg’s neuropsychiatric hospital, its nursing staff, doctors
and patients. A place where daily life is divided
between trying to manage illness and learning
to live with other people, a place that many have
turned to for refuge yet can’t wait to leave. We
meet unique and desperate people, resourceful
and powerless, talkative and silent, carers and
cared-for, and are granted an insight into the
unit’s clinical approach. Mental illness has
changed, along with its treatment and perception.
We roamed around like flaneurs, like wanderers
in a symbolic place of the crisis – indebted
Greece – following the words, thoughts and
music of the rebetes, the singers of rebetiko, a
kind of Hellenic blues. Rebetiko music originated
in the despair of an old crisis (Greeks fleeing
Smyrna) and is one of the musical forms that
has built Greece’s modern identity, conveying
both the pain of exile and the rebellion against
the violence of history. It is an unauthorised and
unlawful music that opposes power.

THE GREAT ESCAPE
BAGAŻ STRACHU
BAGGAGE OF FEAR
Siegfried Kapela was born in Zielona Góra,
former Grünberg, just after WW II. His mother
was German, his father – Polish. Siegfried’s
only goal was to escape from communist
Poland and live in West Germany as a German.
Unfortunately, the Iron Courtain was just
lowered and Siegfried’s dream became his
nightmare. 3 decades of passport denials,
illegal border crossings, prison sentences,
Stasi interrogations, establishing the Solidarity
movement: all for nothing. Kapela’s escape,
begun in 1961, ends only a year before the fall of
the Berlin Wall, when he receives a passport for
cooperation with communist security service.
‘The Great Escape’ is a documentary about a man
run over a soulless wheel of history.
‘Baggage of Fear’ unfolds like a tale of adventure
and suspense, a thriller played out in communist
Poland in the 1970s. A group of students from the
Catholic University of Poland, Piotr Jegliński,
Janusz Krupski and Bogdan Borusewicz, throw
down a challenge and take on the authorities.
Their aim is to print banned books. They scrape
some money together, buy a duplicator in Paris
and smuggle it into Poland via London. Their
deeds are the seed from which the independent
underground publishing movement in Poland
and Eastern Europe was to spring. ‘Baggage of
Fear’ is a film about how simple it is to change
the world when you are 20 years old.

Scenario: a group of students at a vocational
school, all would-be actors anxious to play a
part in the end of year performance, and their
endless, conflicting although necessary contrast
with themselves and the adult world. A sequence
of faces: Francesco, a young playboy, Helena, a
self-taught dancer, Erika, a romantic daydreamer,
Aicha, an overweight girl surrounded by solitude
and all the others contribute to drawing the map
of a globalized world. Their way of speaking,
their style of dressing, their eccentric behaviours
create a unique evolving reality: adolescence. The
theatrical invention exposes and protects them,
thus letting out all the poetic, dramatic, but also
genuinely comic force of their turbulent age.

PROMISE OF CHILDHOOD
Some people dream of America, other of a cabin
in Canada. My family dreams of Spain, the only
country that didn’t arrest its Jewish citizens
during the War. The film is a fantasy about Spain
as imagined by an Ashkenazi Jewish family,
which mixes, in a burlesque narrative western,
matzoh and corrida, suitcases at the ready,
gefiltefische and padlocked squid. The film’s
reverse angle is, of course, the East, Germany
and Poland, evoked through Spanish landscapes.
In the Sumer of 1997, an American couple adopts
five siblings from a foster home in a small town
in Poland. Children are between 4 and 14 years
old when a new pathway to a happy childhood
opens for them. They will find a safe home with
the new loving parents in a promised land. How
much have they actually benefited from their
new home? What have they really experienced?
The camera crew follows their story for in due
course of 15 years…

They escaped the hustle and bustle of civilisation
and the treadmill of capitalism. In a village in
the French Pyrenees, cut off from the world,
Jens and Micky from Germany found what
they desired the most: freedom, peace and
close contact with nature. Their idyll ended
a few years ago when tourists fascinated with
esoterism began to frequent the area. The aim
of their pilgrimages was the holy mountain of
Pic de Bugarach. In December 2012, before
the announced end of the world, thousands of

Gisi Fleischmann believed she could stop the
Holocaust if only she succeeded to raise enough
money. She led a resistance group in Slovakia
which tried to stop the transports to Auschwitz
by bribing Nazi officials. Her story has been
almost forgotten until the Slovak National
Theatre staged a play about her. The film follows
the creative process of putting on the play,
interweaving it with Gisi’s letters, insights of
historians and memories of her relatives.

GODKA CIRKA
A HOLE IN THE SKY
December 1944, 24-year-old Wei Shaolan and
her 1-year-old daughter were seized and sent
to a Japanese camp, where Wei was forced to
work as a ‘comfort woman’ – a woman forced
into prostitution for Japanese servicemen during
World War II. Despite being physically and
mentally abused, Wei unbelievably escaped the
heavily guarded ‘Comfort Station’ pregnant,
shamed, and unsure of what fate awaited her
return home. This documentary presents the true
legendary story of Wei Shaolan and follows her
traumatic and courageous journey from forced
prostitution to life today with her Japanese son.
‘Real Heroes’ are people who can face life bravely
even after a tormented life, and Wei’s story
offers inspiration to those faced with seemingly
hopeless adversity.

KILLING TIME
THE TERRITORY
Elory Chester, who raped a girl 15 years ago and
murdered her uncle, was sentenced to death
penalty and the countdown before its execution
in the town of Huntsville, Texas has just begun.
Prison wardens, sensation-hungry journalists
and activists demonstrating outside the prison
building are preparing for it. Relatives and
neighbours of the assassin and the victims are
waiting for the final solution in the near-by town.
The convict himself is also counting off the
remaining hours.
‘The Territory’ is an intimate look into the
lives of Israelis from the former Soviet Union
who made their new home in the West Bank
settlements. While some residents move to the
settlements looking for cheaper housing, others
are motivated by Zionist ideology; and all are
influenced by their past experience of being
an oppressed minority in the Soviet Union.

THE SILLY BASTARD
NEXT TO THE BED
NEULAND
‘The Silly Bastard Next to the Bed’ is a short
documentary about one of the funniest calls ever
made from the Oval Office. In July of 1963, the
First Lady was pregnant. While the President and
his wife vacationed in Hyannis, Massachusetts,
the Air Force prepared a hospital room at nearby
Otis Air Force base for the use of the First Lady,
if the need arose. Somehow the story leaked
out that the Air Force completely refurbished
the room, using over $5000 (nearly $40,000 in
2014 money) for improvements. This figure was
printed in the Washington Post on July 25, 1963.

TRAVAILLEUSES...
WOMEN WORKERS...
LA PICCOLA GUERRIGLIERA
THE LITTLE GUERRILLA GIRL
Women workers in textiles talk about their
works while being focused by six artists and
filmmakers in 5 countries. Who are they? Why
do they engage in textile? We take time to listen,
to see, and let the film mingles the sights. We are
looking beyond what we have already known,
wish to meet women who have their fingers on
the pulse of textile industry. The film wonders
through a world factory, along with the women,
to labor, to live, to revolt unexpectedly. The
picture of women and the work changes by then.
For the last seventy years the Karen have been
fighting for their freedom in Burma. The longest
armed resistance in contemporary history, in
which the Karen women have always fought in
the first line. Zoya Phan is one of them. And like
them, she lived and fought in a hostile jungle,
among the guerrillas of the Karen Liberation
Army, until the age of 14. Today Zoya is thirty
and has become an icon of the resistance of an
entire people. Hunted by spies, sought by killers
of the regime, the ‘little guerrilla’ has managed
to secretly return to her homeland several
times to continue to organize the resistance
of a people forced to fight on for their freedom
and self-government.

DOMINGUINHOS
TZAYAD HANAZIM
HA’ACHARON
THE LAST NAZI HUNTER
José Domingos de Morais (dubbed as
‘Dominguinhos’), who died last year, was the
incarnation of the spirit of Brazilian popular
music. As an accordionist, composer and singer,
he combined traditional Indian music with
European and African influences. The film is
an attempt at the unconventional biography of
the artist whose work is thoroughly seeped in
personal experiences: his childhood in poverty
and eventful emotional life.
This is a detective story but the crimes were
committed 70 years ago while their investigator
was not yet born. Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the last Nazi
hunter, tries to bring to trial two main criminals:
Shandor Kapiro, a Hungarian officer who took
part in the murder of more than 1200 people
and the Dutch Waffen SS Klass Faber who killed
people in Westerbork camp. Will Zuroff succeed
to fight the tendency to forget the victims and
to minimize the Holocaust?

THE DRUG ADDICT’S DIARY
DOKIME
The drug does not choose. There are many
schoolgirls and young mothers, women who have
two higher educations, artists and musicians in
the women’s rehabilitation center which situated
near Ekaterinburg. Our main character is Kate.
She is smart, educated, multi-talented person and
the obvious leader of this specific community.
Together with her and the other heroines of our
film we were involved into a cruel confrontation
between the founders of the Fund ‘City without
drugs’ and ‘security forces’ trying to destroy a
non-government, but very effective structure.
Dokime is an essay documentary which presents
an ideological critique to the documentary genre.
The work combines film theory with an eclectic
montage from innovative early documentaries
to reflect on the aesthetics and politics of nonfictional representation; on the rhetoric of truth
of the documentary form. The film draws its
inspiration from T. W. Adorno’s essay ‘The Essay
as Form’; from his call for an open, self-conscious
and critical mode of expression, which would
bring together the conceptual specificity of
science with the formal sensitivity of art.

‘Moleman 3’ is a documentary diary about a
journey from the underground to the cultural
surface. During his journey, Moleman shows
you independent artists and genres building
themselves up from the bottom, who do not
follow the mainstream taste, but find their
own way to the surface. Beatbox, turntablism,
DJing, live improvisation, and bedroom and
award-winning producers, are waiting for you
on this road.
The western border of Poland: At the time of the
People’s Republic of Poland, the border prevented
Poles from entering a different world altogether.
Did they think this other world is better? They
certainly knew it would be quite different. The
existence of this other world was discomforting,
as are all unknowns, but it also enticed, beckoned,
and promised change. Today, such borders are
but a footnote in collective European history and
a flashback in individual memory.

CELLS
In 1981, after many of the live-music bars in
Plaka, Athens, were shut down, two professional
musicians, Spiros Podaras and Xristos Tolos,
decided to open Café Santan, a live rock music
bar in Volos – a sleepy provincial town – that
soon became a place of artistic expression for
restless and free-spirited people and changed
the town’s youth way of life, becoming a
legendary landmark. For 28 years, many Greek
and foreign famous artists and bands performed
live in Café Santan. In 2009, the building used to
house Café Santan was requested by the owner
for private use and a demolition was scheduled.
Café Santan’s last nights as a live-music bar were
full of live music sessions, gatherings of old and
new regulars, memories and rock stories.
‘Cells’ is a sticky documentary film about
a simple man with a far from simple plan.
Dutch-Belgo Martin Uit den Bogaard (67) is one
of the world’s top 10 bio-artists. Martin’s quest
is to get his hands on a new human body part to
use in his work while he wrestles to obtain the
rights to his own body for his ultimate and final
piece, after his death. How can Martin fight the
law? Devoid of religious intentions, everything
is matter. All matter is continuously moving.
But what about intangible things like our soul
and our consciousness? This contemplative but
humorous documentary confronts us vigorously
with our own private life and mortality, the
western taboo of death.

RETURN TO HOMS
If you look through the window of the control
room in district XII of Budapest you will see
a small square. In 2005 There was is a statue
was erected in the square to commemorate the
victims of the second world war. It represents the
turul, a mythical bird which an ancient symbol
of Hungary and which was appropriated by
Fascists before the war while today it is readily
exploited by the extreme right. For 10 years the
director observed the fight for the monument,
a reflection of profound political divisions in
today’s Hungary.
Seldom does the camera become such an active
participant of warfare. In this case it is not
just an eyewitness, but a weapon directed at
a stronger enemy recording its crimes as they
are committed. For two years the director
accompanied two young revolutionaries from
the Syrian city of Homs, which was turned into
rubble by President al-Asad’s regime army. He
observed a process in which two charismatic
idealists, Basset and Ossama, slowly grow to start
life-and-death struggle.

In late 1944 Andras Toma, an 18-year-old
blacksmith’s apprentice in a tiny village in
Eastern Hungary, was force-drafted by German
troops and taken to war. He had just gained
admission to flight mechanic school, the
profession of his choice. It was not meant to be.
He disappeared and was declared dead. 56 years
later he was miraculously found in Russia. He
had survived all those years in captivity, first as

DAL PROFONDO
FROM THE DEPTHS
ON THE SPOT: GAZA
A long night without an end, without seasons,
without time. A secular labor that is both pride
and curse. Kilometers of tunnels. Darkness. Black
men. A woman. Patrizia, the only female miner
in Italy, enters in a dialogue with a dead father,
a never buried memory. The last 150 miners are
ready to fight a war against the ‘upper’ world
to prevent the already imminent closure of the
mine. Dal Profondo, shooting 500 metres below
sea level there is a voice from the depthes, is a
prayer that is dedicated to the dead and demands
to be heard by the living: ‘De profundis, clamavi
ad te, O Domine...’

Rappers from Los Aldeanos publicly express
what many Cubans nowadays think in private.
This is why hip hop is banned on the island and
those who perform or listen to it often risk their
lives. Albums, handed away by musicians on

of freedom that spreads across the entire country.
Using hidden cameras, the film documents
the fight of the musical underground with
the totalitarian system.

Stelvio Pass. Here in the middle of the Italian
Alps the visitor discovers a breath-taking
landscape. Here 100 years ago here was the
highest and coldest battlefield of WWI. Objects
from that cruel war are still found in the snow
by people like Mario, who collects war remains
in his spare time. Through Mario’s story and
other characters Stelvio enables to discover the
unexpected magic of this alpine microcosm.

THE AGREEMENT
‘Broken Branches’ is an animated documentary
about loss, family and hope. Michal Rechter
was only 14 when she left her family in Poland
to travel to Israel by herself on the eve of the
Second World War. Now, at the age of 92, she
tells her story to her granddaughter, the film’s
director, who brings her memories to life
in colourful animation.
Contemporary history is made behind the closed
doors of offices. The film offers an opportunity
to observe this process from close-up. Robert
Cooper, a negotiator for the EU, conducts talks
with the representatives of Serbia and Kosovo
on their peaceful coexistence. He watches his
every word in this gameplay where security in
the Balkans is at stake. But negotiators are not
just cold-hearted players. They also reveal some
human qualities such as interest in rock music
or affinity for eccentric ties.

ATT SKILJAS
A SEPARATION
Summer 2013, we accompany a group of Poles
whose families survived massacre by Ukrainian
nationalists in 1943 as they return to visit their
former homes in Western Ukraine. Seventy
years on they see the places where their villages
once stood, now empty fields, and meet their
former neighbors. Ukrainians and Poles tell
stories of horrific slaughter, but also of complex
and moving relations between people who
had lived alongside each other for centuries,
and of how some risked their lives to save
their alleged enemies. The setting is a timeless
lyrical landscape.
After 38 years of marriage the director’s parents
decided to divorce. Karin accompanies the
preparations for the divorce using her camera
to register their emotions. The family home has
been put up for sale and its contents must not
only be packed but also divided between the two
spouses. The stocktaking of their joint property
evokes the memories of the time spent together.
For each of the characters, including their adult
daughter, a new chapter of life begins.

Summer. Sun. A beach by a river. Time to relax,
rest and time of sheer nostalgy. Three mature
women go back to memories of first love,
rejected love and butterflies. Their sentimental
conversation goes back to times of true love and
lost chances of listening to what their hearts
had to say when they were young... Does being
in love enable us to make the right decisions? Or
maybe they should be made by soul not by mind?
This short film touches the subject close to every
person’s heart. Love. Questions are asked but
remain unanswered. It leaves the viewer with
doubt and deep thought over decisions which
sometimes have an effect on one’s entire life.

Although Shirley and Hinda are almost 90,
they actively oppose the unfairness of the
contemporary world. In the time of the
economic crisis they decide to find out more
about the global economy and ask a few, albeit
uncomfortable, questions of Americans. Two
perky old ladies travel across the US going from
university campuses to the Wall Street and
postulate change in thinking about voracious
consumption and its consequences for society
and the natural environment.
The film is an artistic documentary that relies on
an association with a collection of images that
describe events in Russian history at the end of
the 15th century. It was the time the lands of the
Russians were being united, The Grand Prince
of Moscow Ioann III when the autocratic rule in
Moscow destroyed the Novgorod Republic, ‘for
more than six centuries it had a reputation in
both Russia and Europe as a national power or
republic, that really had an image of Democracy.’

BAYOU MAHARAJAH
Eero Mäntyranta was once a beauty, an olympic
champion and a Finnish national icon. Now,
he’s an old stubborn man with crooked fingers
who lives with his reindeers in the deep dark
Finnish forests. His grandson Viktor, who is a
heartbroken, lost musician, tries to find answers
to his questions through his granddad’s stories.
This is a film about being homesick, although you
might no longer know where your home is, about
longing for something to be real. For something
to finally give meaning and substance in a
modern life that sometimes feels meaningless.

The Holocaust survival story is merely a starting
point in the story of this historian and journalist,
keen and perceptive observer of Poland’s
history. Human solidarity saved him during
the Holocaust. The Polish Solidarity movement
swept aside the left-wing formation of which
he was a member and which ruled the Sovietdominated Poland. Marian Turski, was just a
small cog in the machinery of a system which
today’s younger generations dismiss wholesale.
However, such a black-and-white interpretation
is a gross oversimplification. Marian, witness

Sound Studio from Alabama has left its distinct

What contributed to the impact was the musical

haunted by the ghosts of the native residents of
this area. Not only did the studio have an impact
on the American music, it was also ahead of the

The portrait of Halka Třešňáková – an artist,
an actress, and a performer – bears witness to her
work as an artist, as well as to the background
affecting the life of a girl turning adult in a family
that defied a totalitarian regime. On one hand, we
can see one of the most distinctive representatives
of Czech alternative theatre scene, transcending
the frameworks of several art categories with her
artistic expression. On the other hand, there is a
child of dissidents, who had to leave their country
together with all their family and adjust to the
local conditions in a new country. Both these
layers of Halka overlap in a profession that allows
her to express her own feelings. Consequently,
her emigration experience and times of hardship
have helped to shape her artistic expression,
as well as her attitudes and moral creed.

Devastating fire that broke out on the island of
Chios, in Greece, in August 2012 is considered
to be one of the biggest catastrophies in the
history of the island. Local authorities reported
that 16,000 acres of forest and farmland were
destroyed. About 360 firefighters, soldiers and
volunteers were trying to control and extinguish
the fires with the use of water-bombing planes
and helicopters. The film documents the
attempts of the people to put out the fire as well
as the transformation of the landscape during
the four seasons of the following year.

‘160 Meters’ tells the urban transformation
that has been on both banks of the estuary of
Bilbao, in the late 80s to the present day, from
the point of view of rock music. 20 years ago,
the music scene in Biscay was divided into two
sides, in two different styles. On the left bank of
the estuary, in Barakaldo, Portugalete, Santurce
and Sestao, dominated punk. On the right, in the
municipality of Getxo especially independent
circuit under the influence of American rock
bands opted for a more sophisticated sound and
also singing in English, unlike the Castilian or
Basque to the opposite shore. On the left bank
were Eskorbuto, Parabellum, The Vulpess or
Zarama and in the left side were Los Clavos,
El Inquilino Comunista, Lord Sickness or
Elektrobikinis, among many others. All these
bands have had an enormous impact on the entire
state, and many countries in Latin America.

Day and night people dig tundra with excavator

SHEPHERD’S SONG

KNIFE IN THE WIFE
Somewhere in the high mountains of Armenia,
there lives a blind shepherd Khachik. In spite
of all the adversities, he has set up a family and
leads a quiet life, single-handedly herding his
goats on the steep slopes. However, when it turns
out that his only son is losing his sight too and
has to move to Yerevan to attend a school for the
blind, Khachik faces a dilemma: should he keep
on living the life of a humble shepherd, or should
he move to the capital city too to be with his son?
This is a difficult choice for him as he strongly
believes that blindness is a curse hanging over
his family, and that the only living a devout life
in the mountains can lift it.
‘Knife in the Wife’ is a documentary impression
portraying the life of the provincial Arizona
Circus. The culminating point of their show is
the throwing of knives. For over fifteen years the
circus owner and his son have been throwing
them at their wives. The world of this six-person
circus troop, though it gives the impression of the
grotesque, is frequented by sorrow. Despite the
fact that their show isn’t the highest of arts, the
magic of the circus fascinates the young viewers.

THE SOURCE
The Round Table talks and the first, partially
free, parliamentary elections in June 1989
brought hope for better future for many, also
prisoners, often convicted because of minor
criminal and economic offences. Great hopes
for amnesty aroused at first soon billowed into
disappointment, discontent and revolt. The
documentary presents the largest prison riots
in Europe after World War II that took place
in the penitentiaries in Nowogard, Czarne
and Goleniów.
21 years ago the war in Tyak between Armenia
and Azerbaijan ended. Since then an elderly
woman lives there alone with her adult son.
Tyak used to be a large village but now it is
completely depopulated. Some inhabitants
died and others ran away and left their homes
behind. The film characters live in poverty, in
the empty, ruined house. In the autumn, they
gather huge amount of walnuts, which they dry
at home. Selling walnuts is their only source of
income. Samvel is dumb. Donara is on the verge
of insanity. She talks about her companions –
dead villagers. The film is a short, documentary
impression made on the black and white film
reel. It pictures director’s first impressions
from stay in that unique place. On the trace
of forgotten wars.

A portrait of a woman from a mountain village
in Dagestan. In the face of the patriarchal world
surrounding her, she adopts a nonconformist
attitude. Something that proves useful in her
endeavour is her experience from the Soviet era,
when she was a wrestling champion.
Every day, three women convicted of murder are
driven out from behind the walls of the prison
and taken to a care home for the elderly. They
work there, looking after the residents. The older
two participants in this resocialisation project
already know that it enables them feel ‘something

relationships which were missing from their
families. The youngest is only just starting work
in the home.

TOGETHER
A portrait of the residents of a village small
in size but writ large in history… Grunwald.
A famous place, the village is now pervaded by
poverty, stagnation and apathy. The monotony of
the inhabitants’ lives is broken once a year during
the celebrations of the anniversary of one of the
largest battles in Mediaeval Europe; the Battle
of Grunwald. It’s a time when daily worries can
be put aside and it provides a chance to earn a
little money, while the promises of the visiting
politicians and the interest of the media offer
hope for the development of this historical place.
There are three heroes of the film, for whom
relations with animals became the most
important part of their lives. Their beloved dogs
and cats fill the emptiness after those who has
gone, after fail relationships or redress the luck
of the family. ‘Together’ shows that relation with
animals can be as strong as with humans.

6 DEGREES
The film character lives in a run-down wooden
manor house in the outskirts of Łódź. In the
past, Jan lived here with his wife and a sizeable
bestiary, but now he is accompanied by just two
dogs and a mouse. Nothing happens in his life,
only walks with his dogs add a little colour to
the drabness of his everyday life. Other than love
for nature, the protagonist has only his dreams.
He would like to see the sea for once.
‘Six Degrees’ documents a journey through places,
lifestyles and characters in search of the answer
to the question what divides people and what
connects them. The film is inspired by the theory
of ‘six degrees of separation,’ according to which
we are separated from any person in the world by
six steps. With this assumption, the filmmakers set
out on a journey, searching for links connecting:
Martyna – a punk rock singer from Warsaw and
Marco Antonio – a farmer from a Mexican village.
Accompanying the protagonists in their everyday
life, they talk about relationships which are the
most important ones for them, about people and
values, ask them about their needs and dreams.

SURVEY ABOUT MEN
It is here, in poor courtyards and craftsmen’s
workshops, where the purest and wildest
Andalusian flamenco was born. In Seville’s
district of Triana the Roma settled as early as
in the 15th century but were forced to leave their
homes because of the rising prices of land in the
second half of the 20th century, which destroyed
local communities. On the 20th anniversary of
expulsion, the Roma organised a big farewell
concert with the greatest flamenco masters
from Triana performing on stage.
The latest documentary film by Mateusz
Głowacki investigates the mystery of femininity.
The director questions several women about
their relationship with men and thus seeks to
answer the question of what women really think.
The film is the response to ‘Survey about women’
produced and directed by Głowacki two years ago.

The film portrays five persons who look back
at their childhoods from a life-long perspective.
Deportation, loss of loved ones, disease, fear and
hunger are their common experience of World
War II. It is a story of memories, identity, broken
family ties. The main characters of the film
today live in Russia, Israel, England and Poland.
They have been searching for contact or trying
to forget for years. How did they cope with the
past? Can the broken ties be restored? Can lost
time be made up for?
Three protagonists of different ages: a teenager,
a 20-year-old mother of two, an 80-year-old
lady. They are all connected through the place,
the centre of Łódź, which doesn’t bear any
resemblance to the city centres of other large
cities. The place doesn’t offer them opportunities
for development it just keep them in the state
of passive ‘non-existence.’ The portrayals of
these three women constitute a full image of
the quarter, which in a way exists only thanks to
women. It is women who, despite obstacles and
problems, push their families forward, believing
in better future.

of NYC with its well-known hallmarks that we
all recognize from popular culture. The author
experiences the city together with its inhabitants,
follows them when they work and in a leisure
time, during heavy snowfalls and sunny days.
This notefilm creates the raw but incredibly real
picture of New York City.

‘I hadn’t imagined what it’s like to have a child
with Down’s syndrome, or how one can be part
of such a family,’ says Monika, one of the film’s
protagonists and a member of Iskierka –
an association helping children with Down’s
syndrome in Szczecin. The name Iskierka, which
means ‘spark’ in Polish, symbolises a fervent
hope that what is often perceived as a disaster
can be turned into life’s greatest joy.

JUTTA I JA
JUTTA AND I
Marcin is 33. He’s an actor, who has never played
a significant role in a significant movie. He tries
to fulfil himself as a cabaret actor and a stand-up
comedian. Despite his frustration and problems,
he keeps on fighting. Every year, for the last
seven years, Marcin spends six weeks working on
a farm in Lavanger, Norway as a seasonal worker.
The film shows one year in the protagonist’s life.
This is the year that is supposed to be essential,
in which one has to decide whom to be and
how. ‘One Man Show’ is a bitter-sweet creative
documentary that combines documentary
observations and honest confession of young
unknown actor.

a Stefania Cendrowska, a Polish woman who
was hiding a Jewish girl, Jutta, during second
World War. Jutta, currently an old lady, wants to
honor Stefania with a title of ‘Rightous among
Nations’ and Maciej Cendrowski, a young student
of directing, is trying to help in the search,
suspecting that Stefania might be a sister of his
great grandfather. During the search the director
discovers the story of Jutta, and his family
secrets. A name which he shares with Stefania,
is the first, but not the only element that appears
to connect the past with the present.

MOJE 89 POKOLENIE
MY 89 GENERATION
Have you ever dreamed about something
unreachable? Do your ideas seem to be
ridiculous? Meet Michal, who, like Icarus,
attempts to build human-powered wings.
Madman, scientist, or maybe a dreamer? Funny
and optimistic story about a man, who tries to
take off the ground.
The ‘My 89 Generation’ project is a crowdsourcing documentary film, that consists of
footage recorded by the heroes of the movie
themselves: young people born after 1989. We
asked them to send us their own films. Out of
ten hours of footage we have chosen our seven
main characters, young people striving for their
dreams while living through their first loves,
betrayals and breakups. These are the stories of
Wojtek, Ela, Mikołaj, Martyna, Adam, Łukasz and
Małgosia. They are all passion-driven people,
who want to make their dreams come true, they
seek for love and ways to express their affections
and emotions, although they do not always know
how to do it properly.

An extraordinary documentary, depicting
family life of Wojciech Zamecznik (1923-1967),
architect, stage designer, eminent poster artist.
The film was made in its entirety thanks to
private archives of the artist himself, who loved
to record family life, meetings and journeys
with friends. The documentary material is
complemented by graphics and experimental
material which has not been previously
published. The entire film is not only an
interesting look at the everyday life of an artist,
but also a rare opportunity to see the reality of

SEN O WARSZAWIE
A DREAM OF WARSAW
EFEKT DOMINA
THE DOMINO EFFECT
Czesław Niemen, who died ten years ago, was
an icon for several generations of Poles. In Poland
under communism he managed to raise popular
music to the rank of true art; he also won renown
abroad. He was born in 1939 in Stare Wasiliszki
(today’s Belarus) and his biography was largely
shaped by the tempestuous history of this part of
Europe. The film is a portrayal of the charismatic
musician, made up of unique archive materials
and reminiscences of his family and friends.
In the rundown resort of Sukhumi (the capital
of Abkhazia, a republic separated from Georgia
and controlled by Russia) the local sports
minister decides to prop up the prestige of the
country which is not recognised by most states.
To this end, he organised world championships
in domino. A peek into his private life reveals
that his marriage with a much younger Russian
opera singer is not paved with roses and cultural
differences make themselves felt.

Wajda’s films or Krzysztof Warlikowski’s
performances. In 2012, together with the Royal
String Quartet, she recorded an album with
new arrangements of well-known songs about
Warsaw. The recording of their performance

Thirteen years ago, Karolina Sobczak, who had

she struggles with the hardships of being a single
mum. Who is Karolina now? To what extent was

A very strong punk movement was formed
in Wrocław in the late seventies. It arose in
opposition to the inability to think independently
and as a protest against omnipresent drabness
and the lack of prospects. Generously illustrated
with archive materials, the documentary tells
the story of the everyday life of punks in Poland
under communism and about the formation
and development of the punk-rock music scene
represented by such bands as Zwłoki, Klaus
Mitffoch or Sedes.

SUPER ZHENSHCHINY
SUPER WOMEN
Volker Koepp named one of his first films
‘Greetings from Sarmatia’ in 1972. In those days,
he was searching for the landscapes of poet
Johannes Bobrowski in Lithuanian Memelland.
On old maps, ‘Sarmatia’ is described as vast plains
east of the Vistula, from the Baltic Sea in the north
down to the Black Sea. There lies the Russian
Kaliningrad region; Lithuania, White Russia,
Poland, Moldavia and the Ukraine. Now he has
renewed his interest in this landscape. Alongside
the memories in this new film, young people give
the connection to the immediate present. They
tell of their lives and describe everyday life in the
lands of their birth. And always not for away is
the question: Should I stay or leave?
The story of five cashiers who work the same
shift in a supermarket, in Tel Aviv. Most are
immigrants from Russia, others are native
Israelis. The film follows their relationships,
the mutual support and solidarity, dealing with
the management and customers, their difficulties
making a living and their working conditions,
as they try to change their fate. ‘Super Women’
is a beautiful example of cinéma verité and a
special peek into a hidden world. We are given
an up-close and personal look at a group of
women, who represent a class of society which is
underpaid, overworked and barely appreciated.

THREE LETTERS
FROM CHINA
The desert extends endlessly – flat, grey,
relentless. There is not a tree or blade of grass
or rock. But there is one thing in abundance: salt.
Salt is everywhere, lying just beneath the cracked,
baked surface of the earth. This is the Little Rann
of Kutch, 5000 sq kms of saline desert in India.
And for eight months of the year, Chhanabhai
and his family live here without water, electricity
or provisions – tirelessly extracting salt from this
desolate landscape. Their labour is rhythmic, a
dance that mirrors the dance of the mirages on
the burning horizon. After months of hard work,
the salt is ready to be harvested – just before the
heavy monsoon rains will come to once again
wash their salt fields away.

coal mining site of Wuhai in the parched
north; and in Chongqing, the urban behemoth
on the Yangtze River. The protagonists give
their accounts of the unsurmounted past, the
precarious present and their tentative steps
into the future. The film thus paints a complex
image of the mental state of the people in this
complicated country.

MY FATHER, REVOLUTION
AND ME
Hundreds of thousands of Indian men and
women, landless farmers and the Adivasis –
Indian aborigines – underway on foot. On
dusty roads, on the National Highway, through
villages and cities. Large-scale exploitation of
mineral resources, the construction of immense
plantations and tremendous infrastructure
projects have resulted in the fact that these people
have been and still are being driven from their
homes and robbed of their peaceful existence.
Now they have come together from all across
the land to fight for an honourable existence.

In 1980, the filmmaker’s birth is overshadowed
by the revolution. ‘I was born in the middle
of a dream.’ But another refrain runs through
the film: ‘What am I to do with this legacy?’
This family drama is a quest of identity and
politics that takes us from Turkey in the 1970s
to Switzerland in the 21st century, dealing with
exile, prison, false money, fallen heroes, hippies
gone astray and a revolutionary disco along the
way. A mosaic of a film, which moves freely
between documentary, fiction and animation.

‘The Beekeeper’ relates the touching story of
a beekeeper. The turmoil of the Turkish-Kurdish
war took away everything that he had: his wife,
his children, his country and over 500 bee
colonies, his way of making a living. He was left
only with his love for bees and his unshakeable
faith in the individual human being, regardless
of his background. After a long odyssey full of
deprivation, the beekeeper again found a life for
himself in Switzerland, thanks to his passion
for beekeeping.

VOLCANO
PICTURE PERFECT
‘Volcano’ is an intimate story of marriage. After
an unsuccessful attempt to go on holiday, he
and she shut themselves away at their beautiful
home. They decide that the holiday is going to be
just the two of them. To really relax, they are not
going to be using phones, laptops or watching
television or listening to the radio. When they
deprive themselves of contact with the world
and other people, it turns out that they are
strangers to each other and that their marriage
is just pretence.
To the outside world, Daniel is just another
grumpy old man waiting to meet his Maker.
His sister Muriel’s efforts to get him out into
the world lead them to a car boot sale, and he
surprises her with a particularly unappealing
purchase that reminds him of his childhood,
and a lost love. In the privacy of his own house,
Daniel learns that the grungy item hanging on
his wall is much, much more than he could have
expected or hoped for, and as it transforms,
so does he.

ONLY SOLOMON LEE
Charlie lives with his father who devotes little
time to the son every day. On his 13th birthday,
after coming back home from school, the boy
makes a horrible discovery. Stupefied and
frightened, he decides to hide the truth from the
outside world. Only in a new situation is Charlie
able to discover who his father really is for him.
‘Close’ is a poignant portrait of a unique bond
between a father and a son.
In the suburbs, in the basement of a closed
plant, there lives a young man. He watches the
lives of others on the screens of stolen laptops.
Every phone call and every meeting when he
returns computers to their owners becomes an
opportunity to build a thread of understanding.
The latest film by Alex Lora Cercos, where the
hysterical performance of ‘Are You Lonesome
Tonight’ by Elvis Presley keeps coming back like
a refrain, is a desperate elegy on loneliness.

or hold their breath for short periods. Maybe
dog’s dream’s are pretty much the same as we
have. Maybe they dream about hunger, freedom
and childhood issues, deal with problems
with humans and other authorities, and have
nighmares about the really bad stuff. Stuff that
makes you whimper or hold your breath.

ŚWIATŁO W SIERPNIU
LIGHT IN AUGUST
THE HOUSEWIFE
Even during the European Championship, time
in Olchowka is in no rush. The people of this
little village are occupied with beer drinking,
gossiping, funerals and daydreaming. Kuba,
a young woodcutter is no exception. One night
he and his older buddy Jurek get drunk as usual
and encounter a misterious girl from another
village. It is a love at the first sight for Kuba but
she seems to be rather interested in Jurek. Next
morning, Kuba wakes up with a hang over and
finds himself in a middle of the field, having no
idea what happened to Jurek and the girl. Only
when he turns up to his work, he’s informed
Jurek has disappeared, leaving no trace.

A day in the life of a perfect housewife. After
breakfast, just like every day, she takes her
daughters to school, goes shopping, cleans the
house, does the laundry and cooks. Nothing will
happen without her, although, in fact, she is
invisible for her family. Seldom does she find the
time to stop for a moment in her ‘ideal’ world
but today is different. Based on true events, Jayil
Pak’s film shows the drama of women who suffer
from depression because of everyday routine.

GAMES
Monika and Piotr (both around 40) are a fairly
typical couple where passion and sexual attraction
have faded away, but not jealousy. In order to
do something about it, they go for therapy, but
accidentally they end up at an evolutionary
psychologist’s office. It turns out that, from the
point of view of biology, their desires are perfectly
natural and reasonable. Monika and Piotr – in
order to save their relationship – decide to live
according to evolutionary psychology, i.e. how
they were shaped by nature.
‘Games’ is a short fiction based on Ireneusz
Iredyński’s radio play ‘The Lift.’ The entire story
is played out in a lift which has got stuck. There
are two people stuck inside. They begin to play a
startling game. They concoct a shared life, telling
each other imaginary stories of their first romantic
and amusing meeting and follow right through to
the dramatic ending of their acquaintanceship.
However, the fiction starts to become intertwined
with their real-life experiences.

MILKY BROTHER
Aaron is an Israeli opera singer, who comes to
Poland to perform. He doesn’t feel comfortable
in the country where Jews suffered so much
but, as a professional, he tries to mingle with the
band. He once catches a glimpse of a man behind
the curtain who looks like... Adolf Hitler. He
shares his anxiety with the head of the theatre
but she thinks he’s crazy. The absurd situation
escalates, threatening to cause a furore and
cancellation of the premiere.
‘Milky Brother’ is a story of 10-year-old Seto, who
lives with his family in a little village. The boy is
really looking forward to finally have a sibling,
who is about to be born. Seto tights white
handkerchiefs on the branches of a tree in order
because he believes that this will hasten the
baby’s arrival. Unfortunately, the newborn dies.
The void the baby leaves in the family is filled
by a little lamb, breast-fed by Seto’s mother.

THE BOYS
Marcel is approaching forty, but he still hasn’t
settled down. Like a free electron, he lives
from party to party, avoiding responsibilities
and making the most of life’s attractions. Until
the moment when a casual fling that he’s got
caught up in forces him to become involved with
a 10-year-old boy, Józek. Marcel does what he
can to rid himself of the unruly child, but to no
avail. All his schemes come to nothing and, as if
that weren’t enough, in the middle of the night,
Józek vanishes.
Michał and Kid plan to commit a random
murder. They choose their prey and follow
it persistently. For the Kid the older and
uncompromising Michał becomes an authority.
At first as he gets influenced by the older friend
the boy considers the murder as a test of strength
gradually he comes to an understand what harsh
consequences it might bring. ‘The Boys’ is a story
of an evil that grows inside a person and about
the human weakness as well as social solitude.

THE WAKE
For the people taking part in a therapy group
involving a family constellation method becomes
a borderline expierience. The therapy, which
initially aims at solving an individual problem
unites the whole group. Constellations formed
by strangers evoke series of images originating
in the protagonist’s subconscious. As it turnes
out, these visions seem equally familiar to all
the other participants.
What does a waiter do during a wake? The same
as always. Serves the food, whips the covers
off the dishes, picks up the girls… Eros dances
with Thanatos in this tragicomed told in
documentary style and carrying echoes of
the early works of Janusz Kondratiuk, Miloš
Forman and Jiří Menzel.

THE ONLY WAY
12-year-old Blanka who’s leaving a corner food
shop is bothered by two girls, older than her.
They start to follow her around the apartment
blocks. At the end Blanka’s father appears.
Wanting to teach them a lesson he crosses
the borders though. The film is the parable of
the complex human nature – it touches upon the
source of evil and aggression. Who is the enemy,
who is a friend? Do we know those who are
most close to us?
‘The Only Way’ is an absurd comedy inspired
by George Perec’s novel ‘A Man Asleep’ and
‘Bartleby, the Scrivener,’ a short story by Herman
Melville. Adam, a young man living with his
mother, hasn’t left his apartment in years.
After his mother’s death, Adam’s own life is
being turned upside down. Since he’s not able
to function properly without motherly concern
and service, Adam decides to take his friend’s,
the postman’s, advice and rent out his mother’s
old room to a girl, who’ll take care of him.

TRASHHH
FRAGMENTY
FRAGMENTS
‘Trashhh’ is a one of its kind surreal musical
about two trash-bins, who fall in love with
each other. How to open up to another person?
Is love the power, which can stand anything?
For sure it’s music! With the participation of
almost hundred dancers and actors it is a tour-de-force through all the ‘trash’ hidden within
ourselfes, let it all loud!
A collection of loosely connected scenes,
depicting a breakdown of a relationship and
a collapse of the world to which the main female
character is desperately clinging on to. Anna
and her partner have well-paid jobs, intense
sex and go jogging every other morning. They
live comfortable yet monotonous bourgeois life.
That makes Anna slowly fall apart.
