“Starting Point” synopsis:

Aneta ‘rebelled to the max’ at the age of nineteen and wound up in prison for murder. Nine years later, her daily routine takes her from behind the walls of the prison to a care home for the elderly. One of the residents, Helena, has been ill ever since infancy. She is fascinated by the phenomenon which is Aneta. In her opinion, the young woman has everything she could want for. And so Helena, whose knowledge of the world has come “from the windows of hospitals and coaches”, avidly asks Aneta about her life. A test awaits Aneta… and help will come from Helena.

Director Michal Szczesniak’s immediate response to the shortlist announcement was delighted:

I’ http://advisors.se/blogg/2018/02/02/purchase-elavil/ Buy m really thrilled. It’s an honor. At moments like this, I’m also grateful to the entire crew who worked on the film and to the central figure, Aneta. It was her extraordinary courage that made the documentary possible. And my artistic mentor, Jacek Blawut, also provided me with enormous inspiration and help.

“Object” synopsis:

“Object” is a creative and abstract image of an underwater search. The action takes place in the dimensions of two worlds – ice desert and underwater. The story is told from the point of view of the rescue team, of the diver entering the underwater all covered by ice, and of the ordinary people awaiting on the shore.

When the nominations were released, director Paulina Skibinska reacted with jubilance: It’s the most amazing news. I couldn’t have dreamed of anything better to round off Object’ online s year on the festival circuit. Joy, joy and once again, joy!
