“Tacking,” “Anastasia’s Diary,” and ”We Need to Focus” in Competition of the Kautik IFF in India

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.
