Tomorrow, 1 June at 6 p.m., a meeting with the Israeli directors presenting their films at the 52nd Krakow Film Festival will take place. Michał Sobelman, the Embassy of Israel to Poland spokesman, will also attend this meeting. This event forms part of the everyday’s FilmPRO Meet the Filmmakers organized in the Panorama Room at MCK (International Cultural Centre).
This year’s programme of the 52nd Krakow Film Festival includes seven films from Israel. Three of them (“The Flat”, “Six Million and One”, “Life in Stills”) will take part in competition in the best documentary category and one, “Catherine the Great”, in the animation category.
Additionally, during the non-competitive screenings, there are other documentaries to be shown: “Torn”, “Violins in Wartime” and “War Matador”. The mentioned films present the whole variety of subjects.
The documentaries, “Six Million and One” and “The Flat”, concern experience of the Jews during the World War II, whose history is discovered by the representatives of the young generation in Israel.
„Torn” reaches the topic of the complicated Polish-Jewish identity in some very interesting way. Its main character is a Catholic priest, Romuald Jakub Weksler-Waszkinel, who twelve years after having been ordained discovers his Jewish roots.
Watching “Life in Stills”, we will be exposed to a moving history of a 96- year- old lady, Miriam Weissenstein, and her grandson, who combine their forces and together struggle for survival of the photographer’s shop established by her husband in 1940 in Tel Aviv.
Ronit Kertsner, director of „Torn”, and Yael Katzir, author of “Violins in Wartime”, will participate in the meeting, during which the discussion on the films’ subjects is planned.
All guests in possession of INDUSTRY and MARKET accreditations are invited.
