Marta Kowalska’s “Blueberries”, Jakub Poterała’s “Penguin Habits”, and Robert Zawadzki’s “Fear” will be presented in the Short Film Competition of this year’s 50th edition of the prestigious Gdynia Film Festival to take place between September 22nd-27th. “Blueberries”, and “Penguin Habits” will be shown as the world premieres.
“Blueberries” by Marta Kowalska follows an idyllic scenery of a high-end family life, which unexpectedly turns into horror forcing young Sara to choose between love and convenience on one side, and decency and ethics on the other.
“Penguin Habits” by Jakub Poterała focuses on a day of departure for a long scientific expedition of Emilia, a mother of Antek, who is supposed to stay behind under his grandfather care in the country. Love and responsibility for the child get here in conflict with ambitions and professional opportunities.
Presented earlier in the Short Film Competition of the 65th Krakow Film Festival, the “Fear” by Robert Zawadzki explores the themes of humanity and moral conflict amidst a humanitarian crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border.
The 50th Gdynia Film Festival will present 32 Polish titles in its Short Films Competition.
