Neighbours is a group portrayal of outsiders, people who live near us but are outside mainstream society. The script for the picture is based on Adrian Markowski’s stories Sąsiady and Uślubieni and has the form of a multi-plot story about the cohabitants of a tenement house.
"It's a story about people that we usually don't notice in our everyday life (...) about people without perspectives, chances, who keep on living their miserable existence despite it all. They live in modern ghettos, forgotten by the authorities that are supposed to look after them," the director told FNE.
The film is produced by KADR Film Studio in co-production with Telewizja Polska, Kino Świat, and Łódź Film Commission.
Neighbors was shot on location in Łódź between October and December 2013 with a budget of 3.1 m PLN with 1.4 m PLN from the Polish Film Institute and financial support from the Łodz Film Fund.
Director Grzegorz Królikiewicz is a renowned Polish documentary and feature filmmaker. His new comedy includes a cast of popular Polish actors including Anna Mucha, Katarzyna Herman, Jacek Poniedziałek, Piotr Głowacki as well as Polish musician Marek Dyjak and Polish professional heavy-weight lifter Mariusz Pudzianowski. The DoP for this picture is Krzysztof Ptak.
The film is distributed Kino Świat with a premiere date yet to be set.
