The opening night will include screenings of Julia Kowalski‘s feature debut Raging Rose, selected for 2015 Cannes festival’s ACID section and Malgorzata Szumowska‘s Body, a winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 2015 Berlinale.
Other films screened will include The Here After, by Sweden-born, Poland-trained Magnus Von Horn, a drama about the aftermath of a crime committed by a teen; 11 minutes, a thriller by Jerzy Skolimowski taking place in Warsaw over the course of 11 minutes, and Michal Szczerbic‘s Righteous, the story of a six-year-old girl caught up in the mayhem of World War II.
The festival will end with Kinga Debska‘s dramatic comedy These Daughters of Mine, winner of the Audience Award at the Gdynia Film Festival and one of the biggest Polish blockbusters of 2015.

Hartowicz worked on many feature films including the critically acclaimed Interrogation by Ryszard Bugajski. This year’s festival will take place under the honorary patronage of Oscar-winning director, Andrzej Wajda and the European Film Academy.
