The Krakow Film Foundation, the organiser of the 60th<\/sup> Krakow Film Festival, announces the first titles of the next year’s anniversary programme! As it is the case every year, the top film-makers from all over the world come to Krakow to present their latest productions. In the international documentary film competition, we will see, among others, the opening film of the festival IDFA in Amsterdam, “Sunless Shadows”<\/em> by Mehrdad Oskouei<\/strong> and the documentary film “My Father and Me”<\/em> by the outstanding British film-maker, Nick Broomfield.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick Broomfield<\/strong> is one of the most frequently awarded British documentary film-makers in the world. During over 40 years of his artistic work, he observed the South American Nazis, met face to face with the infamous American serial killer Aileen Wuornos (on the basis of her life, the film “Monster<\/em>” starring Charlize Theron was made), as well as confronted Courtney Love in connection with the circumstances of the death of Kurt Cobain. All these tasks were difficult, but according to the director himself, the most difficult film experience was documenting his own family history and his relationship with his father, famous British photographer, Maurice Broomfield, in the latest film “My Father and Me.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film will be the first moving picture by\nBroomfield presented at the festival, and at the same time, the one which the\naudience in Krakow will certainly appreciate. This is an extremely personal\nstory about the father, who is full of optimism and documents the post-war\nBritish industry and about the son, who is inspired by the father’s activity to\nmake films and document the world. It is also a private portrait of a family\nrelationship, where opinions and ideas clash, but also a film tribute to the\nprotagonist who died in 2010. The film also depicts a deep and philosophical\noutlook on the 20th<\/sup> century from the perspective of this exceptional\nfamily. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also noteworthy that the Victoria and\nAlbert Museum in London is currently preparing an extensive exhibition of the\nphotographs by Maurice Broomfield, which will be made available to the public\nin October 2020. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
