introduction
Agnieszka Odorowicz
L
adies and Gentlemen,
True are the words of the
president of the jury at the 34th
Polish Film Festival in Gdynia:
something fantastic is happening
in Polish cinema.
Apart from the older generation
of artists, surprising their
audiences with original stories,
there is today a generational
group of young film directors
that seek their own, personal
language. These young
filmmakers try to find new
cinematic ways of telling the
stories of the world around them;
new ways of evaluating their own
history and cultural heritage...
We are proud to present the
2010 catalogue of Polish films.
Audiences will have the
opportunity to watch truly
interesting film works that
combine truthfulness with
an original style, excellent
craftsmanship, and most
importantly, an intriguing
storyline.
I am happy to see that the Polish
Film Institute participates in such
a large number of film productions.
It brings me great satisfaction to
know that the films we co-finance
are getting better, and that Polish
audiences are increasingly
choosing to see them in cinemas.
Our aim for 2010 is to co-finance
primarily auteur films, but also
period films and projects for
children and young audiences.
The new methods of supporting
film production by the Polish Film
Institute are aimed at improving
the system that we have
developed over the past five years.
I
entered the world of film
through the back door;
by financing my own animated
shorts that were later
well-received around the world.
This behaviour was part amateur
and part forced upon me
by the condition of filmmaking
at the time.
When I just started out,
the animation industry in Poland
was in very bad shape. This was
probably the most difficult
moment in the history of this
particular branch of cinema.
The old filmmakers had retired,
but there were no new ones;
most had chosen to leave
the country. That's how it was
ten years ago. But over the past
decade I observed the slow
rebirth of animated film, which
accelerated after the Polish Film
Institute was established a few
years ago.
We are now living in an era when
animation technology flourishes.
Animated films receive general
recognition, while SFX, and thus
animation, have become an
indispensable part of almost any
film production. It is difficult to
imagine when and where this
rapid development might stop.
Being part of this revolution is
one of the most amazing things
to ever happen to me.
T
he past year was, without
a doubt, an excellent time
for the young generation
of filmmakers.
The winning films at the Polish
Film Festival in Gdynia are proof
that the Polish Film Institute's
system for supporting local film
production is very effective.
Young filmmakers have shown
that they are able to express
themselves and describe
the world around them in their
own, unique language; they
manifest a personal touch,
making films that are often
innovative in form.
I hope that the great and
acclaimed Polish filmmakers will
be proud of their successors.
The policy of the Polish Film
Institute has also resulted
in a growing number of
international co-productions for
Polish producers and filmmakers.
Our colleagues from abroad are
increasingly seeing us as equal
and opinionated partners.
One can only hope that Polish
films will be ever more present
at international film festivals,
attracting attention from
audiences and foreign
distributors.

Established in early 200, the Polish Film Institute was fully operational
by September of that year. Its creation introduced a new cutting-edge system for
supporting the national film industry in Poland. This comprehensive system enables
support for a film project at all stages of film production, and helps promote
the finished film in Poland and abroad.
The Polish Film Institute co-finances projects of Polish filmmakers at various stages
of film production and in other areas – from project development, production,
promotion and distribution, to dissemination of film culture and fostering
professional growth of filmmakers through vocational training.
One of the key tasks of the Polish Film Institute is promoting Polish cinema abroad.
In 2009 alone, Polish films were screened at over 20 film festivals in Poland
and abroad, including the most prestigious of festivals (Berlin, Cannes, Karlovy
Vary, Venice, Locarno, Toronto, Tokyo, and Pusan), rounding up a total of over 60
international awards. The Polish Film Institute not only supported these films
financially, but more importantly, helped to promote them by organizing
screenings, conferences and special events, and by providing funding for filmmakers
and actors to travel to festivals abroad and present their respective films.
Since the launch of the Polish Film Institute, involvement of foreign entities in Polish
film production has increased tenfold. In 2009 alone, the Polish Film Institute
disbursed over 2 million euros, supporting a total of over 0 feature, documentary
and animated films – the works of Polish filmmakers and international
co-productions, including pictures by Peter Weir, Jerzy Skolimowski, and Agnieszka
Holland.
The Polish Film Institute has branded Polish cinema with a recognizable
and effective trademark.

Kuba is almost 30.
At his parents’
encouragement,
he decides to take
on his first job
ever. He’s not too
convinced about
it, but starts
working as
a delivery man. As
he sets out on his
first delivery, he
witnesses a traffic
accident. He ends
up at the police
station to testify.
That’s when his
plans start to
unravel. Kuba has
no idea about the
significance of the
part that, by
a twist of fate, he
will have to play
on that particular
day.
Director,
cinematographer, screenwriter,
and producer. Graduate of the
Cinematography Department at
the łódź Film School (1990).
Worked as director of
photography on dozens of
documentaries, a number of
plays and ten feature films.
Directed the live action
segment of Tajemnica kwiatu
paproci (2004) and the
independent feature Madmen
(Szaleńcy, 2005), awarded at
the Pumelo International Film
Festival and screened at
numerous film festivals in
Poland and abroad.

general Sikorski, leading up
to the Gibraltar disaster.
General Sikorski, his
daughter Zofia and a group
of close cohorts are invited
to the official residence of
the Governor of Gibraltar,
Mason Macfarlane. He wants
to convince Sikorski to hand
over documentation
regarding the murder of
Polish military officers at
Katyn. When Sikorski
refuses, the assassination
plan comes into play.
The circumstances of general

Mirka grew up in
Warsaw’s Praga
district, notorious
for its poverty and
violence. But she
managed to finish
a prestigious law
school and almost
forget her roots.
Her profession,
rather unpopular
in her home
neighbourhood,
will prove to be
very beneficial to
the residents of
an old town
house. To protect
them, Mirka will
use her charm,
wit, and a few
tricks straight out
of Hollywood. She
will also risk
doing the craziest
thing in her whole
career.
Born in 1968.
Studied sociology
at the University
of Warsaw and
theology at the
Christian
Theological Academy in Warsaw.
Theatre and film actor, director,
producer. Acted in films by Barański,
Kieślowski, Wajda, Pasikowski, and
Machulski. Directs television series.

1980. Kamil, a student
of Polish studies,
publishes an
experimental poem in
a prestigious periodical.
Drunk on success, he
pays no attention to
what is going on around
him. And what is going
on is the “Solidarity”
revolution; unfolding
events force everyone to
take sides. But Kamil
can’t do it... He loses his
inspiration and doesn’t
do well in school, either.
Trying to avoid being
drafted into the army,
he gets himself into
a psychiatric hospital for
observation. While he’s
there, he gets his hands
on the manuscript of an
excellent novel, left
behind by a roommate
who committed suicide.
No one except Kamil
even knows that this
novel exists...
Born in
1922. Film
and theatre
director,
producer.
Co-creator of
the Polish Film School. Received
many awards for his artistic
merits. Also directs
documentaries, TV series and TV
theatre plays.
Artistic director of
PERSPEKTYWA since 1978.

During a severe storm
a tree fell – an ordinary
oak tree, one might
think. But it was
a magic tree. No one
knew about it, so the
tree was made into
hundreds of items and
sent to many different
shops. That is when
strange things began
happening...
One family got a red
chair that can walk, fly,
and make wishes come
true for anyone that
sits on it. A careless
wish results in parents
departing to work
abroad, leaving their
children in the care of
an aunt they dislike.
The kids run away and
take off to see the
world. That’s the
beginning of a journey
full of magic and
adventures.
Born

mini-series The Magic Tree

torment their suitors by
showing complete

never get married. But an

Bożenka works as a clerk at
a major bank. She believes
that in order to really live,
you have to buy, buy, buy.
But there’s never enough
money! Another reason for
Bożenka’s frustration is her
husband Stasinek, who
should be “a passionate
lover of the world’s most
beautiful woman”, but is in
fact just your average lazy
loser. One day she gets the
opportunity of a lifetime.
As fate would have it,
Bożenka’s neighbour, an
elderly lady who lives
alone, inherits a million
dollars, and dies right
afterwards. Bożena and
Stasinek can almost taste
the millionaire’s life...
A comedy drama about the
small things in life, the big
money, and the many
absurdities of today’s
world.

Thanks to the Dutch
astrologist Paul Van
de Volder, the tenyear-old Nicolaus
Copernicus, son of
a merchant in Toruń,
becomes interested
in the stars. When
Copernicus grows up
and is a student at
the Jagiellonian
University, the quack
astrologist shows up
once again. A battle
for Nicolaus’s soul
ensues between Van
de Volder and the
university professors.
The questions and
doubts that torment
the young man lead
him to a discovery
that will change the
world.
This animated tale
about the life of
Copernicus is an
attempt at depicting
the many
contradictions of
science in that era.

and background designer of
animated films. Graduate of the

When Kostek

head that she is his
other half. But
they have so little
in common; it
looks like there’s
no chance they
could ever be
together. She is
a former
commando who
now teaches Krav
Maga. He is
a composer of
sacred music. She
is an enthusiast of
the feminist
movement, he
comes from
a pious Catholic
family...
Fortune will twist
their fates together
in such a crazy way
that the impossible
will be possible.
Born

1962.

Robert is gay, so the
opportunity to have
offspring seems
tempting. Marek,

sees this as a sort of
emotional escape.
Marian is about to

On 1 September 1939, the
German battleship SMS
Schleswig-Holstein
opened fire on the Polish
garrison at Westerplatte.
Thus began the Second
World War, at 4.45 am.
After seven days of
unyielding defense, the
Polish crew of
Westerplatte, short of
supplies and lacking
outside help, was forced
to surrender.
This story tells the tale of
a conflict between two
great individuals: Major
Sucharski, the commander
of Westerplatte, who was
against prolonging the
fight that was doomed to
begin with; and his
deputy, captain
Dąbrowski, who wanted to
fight until the end.
The script is partly based
on actual events.

imagination.
A film
roller-coaster

a seemingly
ordinary life.

Dominik, a high school
student, is humiliated by his
colleagues one too many
times; he stops going to
school and shuts himself in
the virtual world. There he
meets a girl who has
attempted suicide. She
brings him into the
“suiciders room” – an online
place for people who, like
Dominik, no longer want to
live, or at least give off that
impression.
An attempt at portraying
hikikomori – a sociological
phenomenon often described
as Internet addiction. The
addict locks himself away
from the world, enters his
“hermitage”. These neohermits of the 21st century
can spend anything from
a few months to a few years,
locked in a room, needing
nothing but a computer with
an Internet connection.
Born
in 1981.
Graduate of philosophy at
the Cardinal Wyszyński
University in Warsaw and
directing at the łódź Film
School. Author of
documentaries, adverts
and music videos.

Hanoi – Warsaw
A young Vietnamese woman
illegally crosses the border
into Poland. She needs to get
to Warsaw, where her fiancé
and a better life await...
Mai Ahn’s journey through
Poland is an endless bout
of humiliation and violence.
She manages to escape from
her ruthless traffickers
and tries to make her way to
Warsaw, penniless
and unable to communicate
in the local language. When
she learns that her fiancé is
locked up in a detention
centre pending deportation,
she faces a tragic choice: go
to the police (risking

family after
the “Wildstein List”
was made public.
The “Wildstein List”
is a list of people

Francis is a selftaught inventor.
Fascinated
by the new
technology
of registering images
with a series
of slides, he devotes
himself entirely to
his one passion
and lifelong dream:
inventing
a kinematograph.
After a while he
manages to get
results, but he
refrains from making
his invention public;
instead,
the perfectionist that
he is, he continues
trying to improve it,
making it
the greatest
discovery of its
time...
The story
of a forgotten
inventor.
The Little Wires Druciki
shorts
A nice, hot summer.
Two girlfriends
spend time together,
just walking
and talking. One
of them is in touch
with aliens; she can
also stop or speed up
time. She’s looking
for a job, taking care
of her grandmother,
helping out her
mother, and living
through adventure
after adventure. She
can be very irritating
for those who are
not in the loop.

Hairstylist Rafał cannot
come to terms with his
breakup with the
workaholic Kama. He still
lives at her parents’
place. Then one day
Majka shows up at his
hair salon, and turns his
life upside down.
A dark comedy about

helpless rebellion, and
absurd situations. This

ironic attempt at
describing the time and
