Face-to-face. The director – the protagonist.

The Krakow Film Festival is not only about the fascinating documentary, short and animated films from all over the world, but also about their authors. Both award-winning film-makers, awarded many times at prestigious international festivals, and debut film-makers. This year’s visual ID  of the festival created by the designer duo Kuba Sowiński and Jakub De Barbaro is devoted to them.<\/b><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

On the posters of the 61st Krakow Film Festival, we can see the portraits of men and women directors, whose faces are covered by the pieces of film frames, showing the protagonists turned towards them. The figures seem to look at each other. The series of designs consists of several dozen pairs of characters, who are the embodiment of the personal, close relationship between the director and the protagonist of the film. It is the quality of this relationship that influences the final shape of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A distinct protagonist, a powerful subject, a fascinating story can also eclipse the very person of the film-maker, who takes the role of a focused observer, a mysterious companion, a discreet confidant or an invisible demiurge.  Interestingly, the Krakow Film Festival is one of the few that awards the directors. The meetings of the audience with the makers of the festival films are also an extremely important element of the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, as Kuba Sowiński, the co-author of the concept, emphasizes, on the posters we cannot see the faces, what can illustrate the present time of the pandemic, the compulsory isolation and the face masks covering us, which means that we cannot know the appearance of the newly met people.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
