Oblíbený Z Poland

Experimental animation by Janek Koza

On an empty beach, boy meets girl - who sometimes swears uncontrollably. She is fascinated with the control he has over the kite his flying. He is fascinated with her presence. Turns out, weirdness is not as rare as we all assume.

An observational look at the interaction between two elderly women: 100-year-old Ema and her six years younger sister Zosie. The camera sensitively documents how these two once famous hostesses try to bake a cake at their advanced age. In so doing, it offers a perceptive portrait of their personalities and their relationships.

Warsaw at night. Two young people, Eve and Chicor, are walking through the city after a wild party. Both have had something to drink. The girl coquets her partner, provokes with the promise of a "reward" for a nice evening. Chicor accepts the challenge and walks Eve home. The girl invites the boy to her apartment. A few minutes pass drinking wine and increasingly frivolous flirting. Everything seems to be moving towards a rapprochement. But this night will not end with easy, non-committal sex. Both parties are hiding under different masks. Eve is amused, seems confident and consistent in her ambiguous game with her boyfriend. Sometimes she resists her admirer, at other times she provokes and tempts him again. Chicory is intrigued by the girl's behavior, but slowly realizes that Eve is not just another prey, a woman for one night.

An elegiac documentary about Krzyżtopór Castle in the village of Ujazd, southern Poland. Built between 1627 and 1644 by Krzysztof Ossoliński. It was occupied until 1770 when it was destroyed by the Russian army during the military actions against the army of the Bar Confederation. Nowadays, the castle is classified as a permanent ruin. The film is a powerful meditation on lasting tradition and historical decline; The images are accompanied by a folk ballad about the castle’s history, performed by the village choir from Iwaniska.
