“Anastasia’s Diary,” and ”We Need to Focus” Awarded in India
Maxim Bujnicki’s “Anastasia’s Diary” received the Best Documentary Film Prize, and Marcin Zydek’s “We Need to Focus” got the India’s Film Critics Circle Award for the Best Documentary Debut Film at the Kautik IFF in India. The festival of student films took place between December 1st-3rd.
Produced in a framework of the common documentary film directing seminar run by the Andrzej Wajda Film School and the Gdynia Film School, “Anastasia’s Diary” presents the art of Anastasia Rydlevskaya – Belarusian artist struggling against the political repression of the authoritarian government. Deeply evocative, Anastasia’s paintings express a strife of individuals against the overpowering force of the government.
“We Need to Focus” by Marcin Zydek is a documentary etude following preparations to a special concert at the Polish Baltic Philharmonic in Gdansk.
