“Attraction” by Aleksandra Szczepaniak features a few, sunny, vacation days of the adolescent siblings.

“Nothing Serious” by Kamil Czudej observes how not-that-great a party, accidentally turns into something that might change the character’s life.

“Such a Perfect Day” by Piotr Pluta shows far reaching psychological and social consequences of a hazard addiction.

While ”In Heaven and on Earth” by Yulia Yukhymets that has been already internationally shown and awarded with the Best Film Prize at the Cine Nova FF in Lisbon and recently with the Best B&W Film in the Bratislava International Film Awards, is an experimental short featuring 11-year-old Tosia and her 6-year-old brother Kajtek trying to cope with the family’s tragedy.

The 49th Gdynia Film Festival will present 29 Polish titles in its Short Films Competition.
