“21 x New York” by Piotr Stasik amongst 15 European documentaries recommended for a nomination for this year’s European Film Awards! EFA Members will now vote for five documentary nominations. Based on these nominations, the EFA Members will then elect the ‘European Documentary 2016’.
“21 x New York” was given official recommendation by Krakow Film Festival. For the second time, Krakow Film Festival, included among 10 of the most important European film festivals, recommended documentary film to the European Film Award.
A new documentary film by Piotr Stasik opened this year’s edition of the Festival and was very favourably received. In the prestigious ranking in the Festival Newspaper, recognised film critics: Tue Steen Müller (Filmkommentaren.dk), Will Tizard (“Variety”), Truls Lie (“NY TID”), Paweł T. Felis (“Gazeta Wyborcza”), Krzysztof Kwiatkowski (“Wprost”) and Janusz Wróblewski (“Polityka”) unanimously awarded the film the highest score possible, which unquestionably gave it the first place among feature-length documentary films, shown within the frames of the Festival.
In one of his feature articles, Tue Steen Müller wrote specially for the Festival Newspaper: “This film is an international breakthrough for him with a feature documentary, that places him in the first division of European documentary directors”.
The awards ceremony will be held on 10 December in Wroclaw, European Capital of Culture 2016.
