Three days of the festival will see samples of modern cinematographies of Ukraine, Poland and Turkey. The three countries are connected not only by common Europe and friendly mutual relations, but also by constant artistic quest. New works of young feature, documentary and animation film directors will be presented at the festival.

Krzysztof Zanussi

One of the most famous Polish theater, TV and cinema directors, screenwriter, teacher, public figure.

In his films he looks for the answers to the questions that arise before the Polish intelligentsia of the stabilization period. Each of the characters of Zanussi’s films has their own life philosophy. The director does not judge or criticize his heroes, does not express his own opinion and remains a passive observer.

This year’s festival will be closes by the new film of the Polish cinematography master Andrzej Wajda “Wałęsa. Man of Hope”, which is the third and final part of the famous film trilogy. To make this film was a long-time dream of Andrzej Wajda: 

“…it was absolutely abnormal that we, Poles, had not made a film about this man after all those years. Come to think of it, Wałęsa is our product, for we, the Polish intelligentsia, raised a multitude of common workers to the level of statesmen. We raised them with our literature, our films.
