Not only must she defend her ideals but also the world of flora and fauna.\nScreening: \"Simona Kossak\"13 October, 18:45\nCinema Vend\u00f4me\nTickets\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nDirector \u2013 ADRIAN PANEKScreenplay \u2013 ADRIAN PANEKCinematography \u2013 JAKUB STOLECKIMusic \u2013 BARTOSZ CHAJDECKIArt Directo \u2013 AGATA ADAMUSProducers \u2013 AGATA SZYMA\u0143SKA, MAGDALENA KAMI\u0143SKAProduction company \u2013 BALAPOLIS\nCast:Simona Kossak \u2013 SANDRA DRZYMALSKALech Wilczek \u2013 JAKUB GIERSZA\u0141El\u017cbieta Kossak, Simona\u2019s mother \u2013 AGATA KULESZADirector Batura \u2013 BORYS SZYC\nFull program of the EUNIC Brussels Film Festival &amp; tickets\n\u00a0"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2025\/10\/06\/eunic-brussels-film-festival-2025-simona-kossak\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/simona-kossak-tlo-www.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/10\/simona-kossak-tlo-www.jpg","width":1920,"height":1080},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2025\/10\/06\/eunic-brussels-film-festival-2025-simona-kossak\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"EUNIC Brussels Film Festival 2025: &#8222;Simona Kossak&#8221;"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Brukseli","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/984dd022fbfcd6067a7db18507c1a8a0","name":"strzelkak","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9298b7f62ba7ec82cb10b70cf5a60e1a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9298b7f62ba7ec82cb10b70cf5a60e1a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"strzelkak"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/strzelkak\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/191"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17894"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17894\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18050,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17894\/revisions\/18050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
