“Mom Is Going Back” in Competition of the Extraordinary Film Festival in Namur

Mikołaj Janik’s “Mom Is Going Back” will be a part of the competition of the forthcoming Namur Extraordinary Film Festival, held between November 6th – 9th. The festival will present fifty international fiction, documentary, and animation films, covering the wide range of themes connected with disability.

Awarded earlier at the Barcelona Disability FF and the Carpatian Mountain FF in Ukraine, and presented, among others, in Thessaloniki and Washington, a documentary short “Mom Is Going Back” tries to answer questions like whether it is possible to journey in place, and if one can replace the Himalayan amplitude with the Beskidian hills. Ever since Weronika was born – suffering from cerebral palsy, her mother Weronika struggles with these questions attempting to continue her previous passions in a new life with her daughter.
