Awarded earlier at the 49th Gdynia Polish FF, “Nothing Serious” by Kamil Czudej observes how not-that-great a party, accidentally turns into something that might change the character’s life.

“Attraction” by Aleksandra Szczepaniak, which got Jury Mention at the 49th Gdynia Polish FF, features a few, sunny vacation days of the adolescent siblings.

Presented in competition of the 49th Gdynia Polish FF and of the film critics festival “Camera Action” in Łódź, “Such a Perfect Day” by Piotr Pluta shows far reaching psychological and social consequences of a gambling addiction.

Premiered in the Documentary Competition of the OFF – Odense FF 2024, “Haven” by Diana Szczotka presents a portrait of Ukrainian refugees, staying in the temporary accommodation center in Gdynia in the first days after the Russian invasion in early 2022.

A just-finished documentary by Lulu Pomorova (“Everything for My Friend”) – “Olga” – is a brave and determined insight into a problem of the sexual workers’ human rights.
