T
his year 8 thematically diverse films are included in the cycle which presents the laurels’ winners. Among them is an ascetic, but metaphoric animation “Sleep”, Jerzy Śladkowski’s film about a female worker from a vodka factory, who dreams of a career in faraway Moscow, and a moving prison confession of an American persecuted for numerous rapes on his Filipino wives and mistresses. The cycle also includes a musical comedy about dying, namely a unique premortal performance of Carla Zilbersmith’s, a sharp-tongued artist diagnosed with a terminal disease.Two films take place in the emigrant milieu – Portugese “Li Ké Terra” depicts the dilemmas of the young emigrants from the Republic of Cape Verde, whose parents did not apply for the legalisation of their stay, thus jeopardising the boys’ future; Israeli “Jeremiah” is a rather bitter story about the Tel Aviv-based emigrants from the former Soviet Union. Marta Minorowicz’s “A Piece of Summer”, on the other hand, is a repeatedly awarded story of making the attempt to rebuild the bond between a grandfather and a grandson in the harsh scenery of the Bieszczady mountains’ nature.
