Today we host the world’s premiere of ’’Vera Gran’’ by Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz.
After the Opening Gala at the Kijów.Centrum cinema to the reggae tune, and the visit of Kevin Macdonald, who participated in the ceremony and presented his recent film ’’Marley’’ , the 52. Krakow Film Festival invites you to watch over 100 upcoming premieres. Today we host the world’s premiere of ’’Vera Gran’’ by Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz.
Maria Zmarz Koczanowicz is one of the most famous Polish documentary maker. She made over 50 films, which were presented at many international film festivals, winning numerous prizes, including the Golden Dragon and the Golden Hobby Horse for ’’The Office’, as well as the main prize at the Cinéma du Réel festival.
Her recent film ’’Vera Gran” will have its premiere in Krakow this year. The film follows the path of Agata Tuszyńska’s year-and-a-half journey in which, with the precision of an investigator, she looks at the life of a talented Jewish singer, making the writer and the screenwriter of the film the second, next to Vera, protagonist of the picture. Who is Vera Gran? An unjustly accused of a collaboration pre-war artist, or a person trying to save her life at any cost? Despite the carefully gathered pieces of her story, it is difficult for a clear answer to this question.
After the premiere, which will take place at 6 pm at the Kijów.Centrum cinema in Krakow, we invite you to the Q&A session with the film’s director Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz, the writer and screenwriter Agata Tuszyńska, the producer Agnieszka Traczyńska, and Jerzy Kapuściński, the director of TVP2 and co-producer of the film.
Right after the screening in Krakow, ’’Vera Gran’’ will be broadcasted on TVP2 within the framework of the ’’World without fiction’’ section at 10.55 pm.
