11 Minutes
It seems that the world has never seen a film which would last for 82 minutes and have a
timeframe of 11 minutes. At least not until Jerzy Skolimowski created his latest work, which
received a thundering ovation and was awarded with the Special Prize of the Youth Jury at the
Venice Film Festival, and received the Special Jury Award for the originality of the artistic
concept, the award for the best editing (for Agnieszka Glińska), and the award for the best score
(for Paweł Mykietyn) at the Gdynia Film Festival.
Between 5 and 5:11 p.m., in one of the central spots in Warsaw, a mosaic composed of the fates
of several people is created. It is more than just a stylistic exercise—it is a metaphor for
contemporary life, which is extremely hectic, particularly in big cities, and often shaped by
coincidence. The paths of the protagonists cross in an extraordinary climax. The originality of the
artistic concept of the film is enhanced by the images shot by Mikołaj Łebkowski.
