This Will Not Be a Festival Film

Poland2022animated8'Konkurs polski (2022)

In her final year of university, Julita has to create her graduation film. Her previous animations won many awards, so this time she decides to make a film not for the festival laurels, but for her family. Although the task seemed simple, something went wrong. This funny animation about the creation of animation, with a rhyming narration and lots of distance, is a self-advertisement presenting not only the animator’s successes, but also the characters of her previous films. At the same time, it is a touching story about cherishing family relations and the time spent together.
