S\u0142awek runs through the fields with a metal detector. Marzena is browsing Facebook in the barn. Adam with a bending barbell breaks the world record in weightlifting. Only cows still go to school. Where? In Chlebiotki, a small village in Poland. Only 60 people live here. In houses rimmed with thujas to ward off neighbours. In the evening everyone is online. Longing for something different. This interactive documentary is based on observations, annoyance and love. The director grew up in the village and returned years later. What did she find there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 4500 films, over 1200 Polish and international awards, and a prestigious place in the history of cinematography, it\u2019s hard to imagine Polish documentary filmmaking without the involvement of the WFO Film Studio in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. It was there that masters such as Wojciech Wiszniewski, Bogdan Dziworski, Piotr Szulkin, Jacek B\u0142awut, and Grzegorz Kr\u00f3likiewicz created their works. The celebrations of the WFO Film Studio\u2019s 75th anniversary during the 64th Krakow Film Festival are a unique opportunity to see seven exceptional films created in the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a-based studio on the big screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
