\u201cAn Ordinary Country\u201d<\/strong> by Tomasz Wolski is a brutal picture of a life under surveillance in the communist Poland. Controlled conversations and footage from hidden cameras, dirty recordings of interrogations and recruitment attempts as well as video tutorials for the secret service agents make for a gut-wrenching perspective on captive minds. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBetween art and life<\/b><\/p>\n
Lene Marie Fossen, the protagonist of \u201cThe Self Portrait\u201d<\/b>, does not want to become an \u201canorexia icon\u201d, even though photography is for her a form of self-therapy. Her photographs, shocking yet beautiful, become a diary of her desperate battle against illness and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love and other addictions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPeople living in Camden, New York, and in the suburbs of Colorado Springs, who are the topic of two documentary films \u2013 \u201cI Love You I Miss You I Hope I See You Before I Die\u201d <\/strong>and \u201cHigher Love\u201d<\/strong> – all want to break the hopeless cycle of poverty and addictions affecting consecutive generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHermetic world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe opening film of the IDFA Festival in Amsterdam \u2013 \u201cSunless Shadows\u201d <\/strong>\u2013 shows an inaccessible world behind the walls of an Iranian prison for women who were convicted for murdering their fathers, brothers, cousins, husbands. Their life behind the bars, in a closed, supportive community, is often more safe and free than the one outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLife in isolation is also a reality for a large Romani family who for years has been inhabiting the swamps belonging to a nature reserve in Bucharest. Documentary film \u201cAcasa, My Home\u201d <\/strong>focuses on a dramatic moment when civilisation pervades the existence of the family who up to that point had remained untouched by the modern world problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFilms in the international documentary competition of the 60th<\/sup> Krakow Film Festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- \u201cAcasa, My Home\u201d, dir.
