Diagnosis - Monday, 9th of September at 8 pm - Barka Wisława
Diagnosis is a journey into the depths of subconscious of a city formed by human beings. The inhabitants of the city undergo the sessions on the couch. Unlocked by questions, e.g. what kind of animal is the city? they begin their journey into the depths of their own feelings and emotions. The city itself is only the starting point and over time, conversations get more and more intimate. The scenes from life, reminiscences and highly emotional moments interlace with the subjectively perceived shots of the city. They are blending together, complementing and interacting with each other. The fears of the film characters, their desires and unfinished affairs become a common fate.
Horse Riders and Weirdy Tuesday, 17th of September at 8 pm - Cinema Iluzjon
Horse Riders
(Krzyżoki)
Thirty farmers begin an equestrian pilgrimage touring the boundaries of nearby villages and fields. Fatigue and inebriation mix with religious ecstasy - a marriage of the sacred and the profane.
Weirdy
(Dziwor)
After a long break, brilliant artist and director - Bogdan Dziworski is back making a new film. As he works, a unique relationship builds between the director and his young cinematographer - Paweł.
