Thanks to several years of cooperation between the Gdynia Film Festival and the Krakow Film Festival, the viewers in Gdynia will again have a chance to watch selected films awarded in Krakow. In the section “Krakow Film Festival Catching Waves,” there are two music documentary films, a surrealist animated film, and a sharp and current outlook on Poland as well as a biography of a steadfast lawyer. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Advocate,”<\/strong> directed by Rachel Leah Jones, Philippe Bellaiche the Golden Horn for the best film<\/p>\n

For fifty years, Lea Tsemel has been defending the cases which are considered lost. This Israeli human rights activist became famous mainly as the defence counsel of Palestinians, also the ones accused of terrorism. From rich archival materials and current recordings, a fascinating portrait of a steadfast woman emerges.<\/p>\n

“Once Aurora,”<\/strong> directed by Stian Servoss, Benjamin Langeland the Golden Heynal for the best music documentary film<\/p>\n

She comes from\u00a0the land of the fjords and is sometimes called the child prodigy of Bj\u00f6rk and\u00a0is one of the\u00a0most charismatic vocalists of the young generation. In the film, Aurora Aksnes opens\u00a0the door to her magical world. In front of us, there is a portrait of the artist who tries to save her independent spirit and\u00a0her childlike sensitivity.<\/p>\n

“My Country So Beautiful,”<\/strong> directed by Grzegorz Paprzycki the Golden Hobby-Horse for the best Polish film<\/p>\n

The ironic title of the documentary film refers to the intensification of radical moods in Poland in the last few years. According to the initial subtitle, it constitutes ” non-chronological documentation of selected social events.” The director juxtaposes marches, demonstrations and street riots, but also the speeches of anti-fascist organisations. Here, the Poles appear to be a deeply conflicted nation and even divided into groups who use the same concepts to mean completely different things.<\/p>\n\n\n
