National competition – selected films

The list of films accepted to the National Competition

46 of the latest productions will take part in the Polish competition at the 52nd KFF. The winner will be awarded a Golden Hobby Horse and 20k PLN.

The submissions for the competition included documentaries (short, mid and full-length), animated (up to 30 mins) and feature films (up to 30 min). The productions which have not been distributed in Polish cinemas so far and had not been presented at any festival before the 52th edition of the Krakow Film Festival had the priority in selection.

A lot of our directors work abroad now. This is the first observation looking at the selection of Polish films. Just like last year, surprisingly, a lot of films is being created somewhere in the world. Russia and the post-soviet areas are the favourites, however a lot of film-makers choose more exotic areas. They must have been jealous about the “Argentinian lesson” by Wojciech Staroń and “Phnom Penh Lullaby” by Paweł Kloc and therefore they did not listen to the call saying “go back to the country” – comments festival director, Krzysztof Gierat.

The Polish representation in the international competitions will constitute of six titles. Four of them are excellent documentaries: "Vera Gran" by Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz, "Dad Went Fishing" by Grzegorz Pacek, "Entangled" by Lidia Duda and "Stars" by Adam Palenta. The remaining two is a feature film from the communist times "A Porter From ‘Mewa’ Hotel" by Michał Janow as well as the animation by Piotr Szczepanowicz "The Railway Watchman".
