The international short film competition at the 61st Krakow Film Festival.<\/h5>\n
In the oldest competition of the Krakow festival, the most stylistically diverse projects compete. This year, 12 documentary films, 11 feature films and 13 animated films, a total of 36 titles will compete for the Golden Dragon, the recommendation for the European Film Award and the simplified path to the Academy Awards. Fascinating stories from all over the world, encompassed in a format no longer than 30 minutes, are in store for the viewers.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Animated films<\/h5>\n

Zbigniew Czapla, the award-winner of the Krakow Film Festival in 2017, will present his latest film. Characteristic, recognisable in the very first frames, images from the film “On Time”<\/b> will take us on a journey to Japan. “Too Late”<\/b> by Kinga Syrek is a film tribute to the actress Edie Sedgwick on the fiftieth anniversary of her death and the first animated film, dedicated to the muse of Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan. In turn, “Love in Times of Coal-Based Economy”<\/b> by Tomasz Siwiński, when it was at the design stage, was awarded for the pitching at the Animated in Poland at the 59th Krakow Film Festival. The film is set in 1962 in Silesia, during the coldest winter, where, in the grey reality the love between a miner and a woman crane operator flourishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the competition, we will also see the best animated films from South Korea, Kosovo, India, Lithuania, Great Britain, Italy and Germany. Wiola Sowa, the curator of the animated film section<\/strong>, emphasises: Animated film is a privileged genre. The pandemic has not had such a strong impact on the production process as is the case with other film genres. The reason is simple: the low-key production, which in many cases has already taken place online before the pandemic. Whereas in the context of the pandemic, some of the themes brought up by the film-makers gained additional significance. The emotional reception of these films has been strengthened due to the sense of loss of some of our activities and the yearning caused by recollecting them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
