A young doctor, Tomek, is woken up in the middle of the night by a dead call. This seemingly unimportant event gradually gains significance. It turns into a recurring motif and in a way strips Tomek’s life from the illusions surrounding it, layer by layer. It is like an alarm clock pulling the man into action as he aims at unravelling a mysterious crime. The film is a gateway leading to a place where we get a chance to bring the disrupted circle of unfinished affairs to a closure. It is up to us if we want to cross the threshold. It is also a story about searching for yourself at the borderline between two worlds: that of the living and that of the dead.

The film is the director’s feature-length debut.

Warsaw, the 1960s. Millions of Poles take their seats in front of their black and white screens.

Suddenly, someone catches their eye. It is Kalina Jędrusik – the phenomenal actress and singer who brings some colour to the otherwise colourless reality. She teases with her charm and sex appeal. She galvanises men and appals women. The top sex bomb of the Polish People’s Republic and the Polish Merilyn Monroe.

Kalina refuses to follow the female model of those times. She lives on her own terms, which does not always play well with the prim society and some influential people in the authorities. Numerous scandals, living in a love triangle with her husband Stanisław Dygat and Lucek, her controversial statements and her attires oozing sex appeal make people see her as the top scandalising personality in the country. Little do they know that the biggest scandal starring Kalina is yet to begin…

Autumn Girl is an important fragment in the life of Jędrusik, who is one of the greatest Polish pop culture icons. It is a story of the shine, shadows, ups and downs of her dizzying career as the events of Jędrusik’s life are accompanied by an atmosphere of crazed fun in the upper echelons of society.

An ethnographer originating from Kashubia comes back to her home region to explore folk religion. She knows her well from home, but in adult life, she has cut herself off from her. Then, she meets young Kashubians motivated to save the tradition of bowing and dancing with holy paintings. They’re preparing to hold a feretron weighing over 100kg on their shoulders for the pilgrimage. Physical weakness and the necessity to learn the tradition from YouTube make them realise they might have bitten more than they can chew.

Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski is a widely forgotten politician and economic activist who greatly contributed to Poland’s growth. Where did he come from? What is the secret to this phenomenon of a man whose initiatives form the basis of the Polish economy to this day? Why was he so ruthlessly banished from public life? The time between 1945, when Kwiatkowski’s strong motivation to work for his homeland made him listen to nobody and return to Poland, and 1948, when he was evicted from public life once and for all and forbidden travel to the seaside or visit his beloved Gdynia, make for the most intense period of his eventful life.Those three years reflecting all Polish dilemmas form the backbone of the film.

They ignore the former and take the latter because it looks valuable. That puts them on the police’s radar.

No End

It’s 1982. Late lawyer Antoni Zyro comes back home after his funeral to accompany living relatives and occasionally interfere with their affairs. The case Zyro had been preparing for was taken over Labrador, who tells the accused what to say in court regardless of what the young workman actually thinks. Antoni’s wife, Urszula, has completely fallen apart after her husband’s death. It seems that no one can help her.

The governor, however, doesn’t arrive in the town he was expected in. Kama can’t stand the heat and lands in an asylum with a nervous breakdown. The bomb and money are hidden in a village. In 1905, the tide turns. Bomb keeper Wojtek Kiełza transports the weapon to Warsaw, though, he can’t make out who wants to fight and who’s just an agent provocateur. Eventually, he’s arrested and sentenced to death but manages to disclose where the bomb is hidden to Gryziak. The released anarchist throws the explosive into a room full of Okhrana officers, only it doesn’t go off.

His relation with Iwona is seemingly meaningless, but because of it they will both see their life choices and people from a different perspective. In their everyday life the characters are accompanied by an observant narrator.

Destination Nowa Huta!

A documentary about the construction and opening of steelworks Nowa Huta and the first film made by Andrzej Munk. Exemplary of socialist realism in Polish cinema, the short depicts physical labour in the steelworks running like clockwork with some insight into everyday life.

Men of Blue Cross

February 1945. In the area of Podhale still occupied by Germans, there’s a small guerrilla hospital led by Doctor Juraj. In the face of the front drawing near and serious condition of his patients, the doctor crosses the border to ask the Tatra Volunteer Rescue Service in Zakopane for help. Rescuers agree to set off on an exceptionally dangerous mission. Under extreme conditions and threatened by the enemy, they reach and evacuate the hospital. But on their way back to Zakopane, the Germans spot the expedition and send the troops to chase it.

The film was inspired by the story of Adam Liberak Wyprawa po życie and the original notes from Księga wypraw of TOPR rescuers.

A creative portrait of Barbara Krafftówna, an outstanding Polish actress. Successful in film, she went through a lot in her private life using imagination as a strategy to survive. Like Alice, Barbara takes us through the looking glass into a world that doesn’t exist. The film is narrated by her intimate and emotional internal monologues. They hark back to the best role in Krafftówna’s career in Wojciech Jerzy Has’s How to Be Loved, a film nominated to the Palme d’Or in Cannes.

August of 2007. Richard Boca (Beau Knapp), an obsessive Wall Street data analyst, lives isolated from the world in an ascetically furnished apartment overlooking Central Park. One day he notices worrying signs: his computer algorithms show anomalies, while the apartment becomes infested with mosquitoes – a plague that pushes him into a mental breakdown.

On Wall Street, they call these analysts “quants” – their mathematical genius helps companies make huge profits. Absorbed by his work, Richard rarely goes anywhere beside his office and his flat. However, he goes to a corporate event where he makes two new acquaintances: ethereal Lena (Charlotte Vega) and a certain unusually persistent mosquito. Both of them burrow deep in Richard’s mind, changing his life completely.

Finding common characteristics between the works of Franz Kafka, David Cronnenberg and Mary Harron and her American Psycho, director and screenwriter Filip Jan Rymsza created a new genre of biological horror, which shows the reality on the eve of the market crash in a non-typical way – the events of the film happen during one of the weeks of 2007; signs of upcoming economic and socio-political crisis can be seen everywhere. MOSQUITO STATE is a hypnotic study of a fragile mind of an individual, who can spot repeating patterns long before others. This film constitutes another important chapter in the genre of urban solitude and announces the arrival of a new and expressive voice in the independent cinema.

The film is the director’s feature-length debut.

An action comedy about the king of thieves and getaways.

Sunday Morning

Rebuilt Warsaw on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning. A ride on the bus offers a glimpse into passengers’ funny behaviour and tells a story of a quarrelling couple.

Eroica

The film is a combination of two short stories. Part one features a Warsaw slyboots Dzidziuś. Dragged against his will into the Warsaw Uprising, he brings himself to make a heroic deed, however entirely pointless. Part two takes place at a German Oflag. There circulates a legend about an alleged prison break of Lieutenant Zawistowski. Few know the truth but won’t say a word not to rob their fellow inmates of hope.

Professor Zazul

A young traveller has a nightmare. Instead of Professor Zazul, he meets an impostor. The real professor’s corpse floats preserved in a specimen jar in a laboratory.

Roly Poly

A racing duo, the Fox brothers, have a serious accident. A complicated transplant is the only way to save them. Despite the success, this new medical technology turns out to be a nuisance for the patient. Especially if repeated after the next couple of car crashes. Roly Poly is probably the biggest achievement of Polish fantasy film. The crew of masters (Wajda, Zdort and Lem, the author of the screenplay!) blended with an outstanding cast (Bogumił Kobiela playing the lead role) into a truly explosive mixture. Stanisław Lem regarded this surprising, almost campy, film directed by the Polish master as the best adaptation of his prose.

A story about the tragic fate of a Jewish political activist who committed suicide on 12^th May 1943 in London. What he did was supposed to be a sign of protest against the world’s passive attitude towards the tragedy of Holocaust. The story is told from the point of view of a young British journalist who, as most of the people living in the West back then, was unaware of the extent of the crime taking place in the east of Europe at that time.

Diagnosed as an autistic child, Grzegorz lives in his own, hermetic world not being able to connect with others. When he is a teenager, it turns out that the cause of Grzegorz’s isolation is not autism but a deep hearing impairment, underneath which a great musical talent has been hidden for years. Thanks to a hearing aid, Grzegorz starts to discover speech, sound, and music, in which he falls in love. Grzegorz now desires to become a pianist and perform at a great philharmonic concert hall. But no one, apart from him and his family, believes that this deaf boy – though aided with new technology – will ever make his dream come true.

A moving, authentic story of the musician Grzegorz Płonka from Murzasichle in the Tatra Mountains. It shows an incredible journey, burdened with huge effort and great struggle to achieve the impossible.

The film is the director’s feature-length debut.

Passenger

On a luxurious cruise, Liza notices a woman whose face shakes her to the core and brings back memories. During World War II, Liza was a guard in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. She chose Marta, a proud and defiant Pole, as a helper. Irritated by the prisoner’s attitude, she decided to do whatever it takes to break her into a perfect slave. For years, Liza was certain that Marta, the only witness to her crimes, died in Auschwitz. Now she sees her victim in an unknown passenger.

An international group of women traffickers is increasingly active in Poland. At a Warsaw dance school, they tempt young women with the possibility of being cast by an American film studio. What the gang doesn’t know is that among the students, there is a secret police agent.

Inspired by the Polish Committee for Combating Trafficking in Women and Children, the film is an adaptation of Antoni Marczyński’s novel. One of the first Polish interventional and socially engaged propaganda films, it combines an important issue with an action-packed storyline. Some of the scenes were shot in Gdynia.

At the 46^th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, Tomasz Chyła Quintet will improvise during the screening of Path of Shame. It will not be a regular concert, but a musical spectacle based on modern experimental music arranged specifically for the Festival.

A documentary about the juiciest secret and the biggest dream of Polish cinema that never came true. Andrzej Żuławski’s On the Silver Globe could have been one of the most ground-breaking science-fiction films in history. The scope of production, star-studded cast, revolutionary costumes and set design all promised a masterpiece. Then, why did the Communist authorities stop the production two weeks before the end of shooting? Was that a financial decision? Political? Artistic? Personal? What remains is a legendary film that keeps inspiring filmmakers around the world and the emotions of the crew as intense as forty years ago.

Poland, 1983. In the country, despite it being suspended, there still is martial law earlier introduced by the communist regime in order to supress the Solidarity opposition. On 12^th May, Grzegorz Przemyk, the son of Barbara Sadowska, an opposition poetess, is detained and severely beaten up by a police patrol. Przemyk dies after a two-day agony. The only witness of the fatal beating is one of Grzegorz’s colleagues, Jurek Popiel, who decides to fight for justice and testify to incriminate the policemen. At first, the State apparatus, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, understates the matter. However, once twenty thousand people march in the streets of Warsaw behind Przemyk’s coffin, the authorities decide to use any means available against the witness and the mother of the deceased to shame them and prevent Jurek from testifying in court.

Jan Piszczyk pleads with the prison director to let him stay within the safe walls of the institution by telling him the story of his life. Piszczyk has been forever struggling with two conflicting features: ambition and conformity. Each of his incarnations brought him bad luck: every serendipity and chance in life backfired. Whenever he was successful, he usually ended up being his own undoing but blamed others for his failings. Only in prison did he start to feel free from responsibility and stopped dreading his identity.
