“Tacking,” “Anastasia’s Diary,” and ”We Need to Focus” in Competition of the Kautik IFF in India
Jakub Laskowski’s “Tacking,” Maxim Bujnicki’s “Anastasia’s Diary,” and Marcin Zydek’s “We Need to Focus” will be presented in various competition sections of the forthcoming Kautik IFF in India to take place between December 1st-3rd. “Tacking” will take part in the short fiction film competition, while “Anastasia’s Diary” and “We Need to Focus” – in the documentary short films competition.
Awarded earlier this year with the Jury Special Mention in Finland, the “Tacking” – a diploma film by Jakub Laskowski – is a surrealist account of a psychological process of coming to terms with the death of a father.
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.
