Special Presentation of the Gdynia Film School’s films in Seattle
Four Gdynia Film School’s films: “Resurrection”, “Sabina”, “Don’t Talk to Me Like That”, and “Jaffa Cakes” will be a focus of the special presentation of the film students’ works preceding the inauguration of this year’s 31st edition of the Seattle Polish Film Festival. The screenings will take place at the Dom Polski in the Seattle Polish Cultural Center on October 7th.
Recently awarded at the prestigious 44th Manaki Brothers FF in Macedonia, and earlier in Czechia, India, Portugal, and the US, the ”Resurrection” by Luiza Budejko sketches a portrait of a family dealing with the death of small Marcel. 10-year-old Magda, Marcel’s sister, feels a need to help their parents overcome the tragedy and to do something that will let them all return to their life as it was before.
Awarded with the Best Student Film Prize at the Toronto Women FF and presented widely around the world, ”Sabina” – the diploma film of Diana Zamojska – features a meeting of 50-year-old Sabina with a young blue-haired girl full of life and troubles. The encounter brings about unexpected consequences for both of them.
Also awarded earlier in India, Hanna Kilińska’s “Don’t Talk To Me Like That” presents a complexity of a musically talented sibling relationship. Brother and sister are about to give a concert that is supposed to change their lives, but will they manage to come on stage?
Nominated earlier to the Geneva Awards and NY Indie Shorts Awards, Bartek Izdebski’s ”Jaffa Cakes” presents few last moments spent together by three childhood friends, just before embarking on a long-time journey. Remembrances of a fairy-like, idyllic past mingle with expectations and dreams of a new, different world out there – what will prevail?
