This year we will not be lacking in short films at Two Riversides. In Kazimierz you will have the chance to see screenings of the newest professional productions of under 60 minutes, which are unlikely to be widely distributed. For many of these films this will be a premiere show.

At the 8th edition of the festival we will show Michał Bielawski’s “1989,” which was made for the 25th anniversary of the first free elections in post-war Poland. Politics is also the main topic in “Curtains” by Andrzej Fidyk, which tells about the last meeting of the Polish United Workers’ Party, and in “Postcards from the Republic of the Absurd” by Jan Holoubek, which describes the peculiar reality of the Polish People’s Republic.

The topic of family shall be explored in “The Family Album” and “Whale Valley.” Fans of the band Cool Kids of Death cannot miss the two films by Piotr Szczepański – “Generation C.K.O.D” and “C.K.O.D.2 – Evacuation Plan.”

“Friends at 33 RPM” by Grzegorz Brzozowicz will tell us the story about the friendship between Stanisław Zagórski and Rosław Szaybo, two world-class graphic designers from Poland. The animated projects by Jerzy Kucia (“Fugue for Cello, Trumpet and Landscape”) and by Robert Löbel (“Wind”) will conclude the “In the Short Run” section.
