“Anastasia’s Diary,” and ”We Need to Focus” Awarded in India

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.
