CONtENts fINDEX Ladies and Gentlemen, 

You are holding in your hands the latest edition 

of the ‘New Polish Films’ directory, published by 

the Polish Film Institute, announcing the upcoming 

season in Polish cinema. We present here selected feature 

films, animations and shorts. It is encouraging that many 

of them are debuts and second films. We will soon be 

able to see them in competitions and prestigious sections 

of international film festivals. 

In 2012, the Polish audience clamoured for ambitious 

and artistically valuable cinema. More than 1.2 million 

viewers for the Oscar-nominated In Darkness 

by Agnieszka Holland, and nearly 1.5 million viewers 

in Leszek Dawid's second film are a cause for joy 

and satisfaction. Hundreds of thousands of spectators 

at films by Wojciech Smarzowski, Małgorzata Szumowska 

and Piotr Trzaskalski show that it is the beginning 

of a lasting trend. We are impatiently looking forward 

to their next projects. 

Contemporary Polish cinema is very varied. Its creators 

are looking for answers to niggling questions, often 

addressing important social issues in a historical context. 

These questions concern timeless and universal topics 

– tolerance, human rights, respect for the different. 

I believe that with this ‘New Polish Films’ publication, 

you will discover in Polish cinema something intriguing, 

surprising and inspiring. I warmly invite you to see those 

films that will help you become friends with Polish 

cinema for a longer time.

The story of Mateusz Kłos; carpenter and dashing heart-throb. His death doesn’t put an end to his conquests; 

on the contrary, it launches a series of events that turn the life of a small and peaceful town upside down. 

A fresh and charming take on the difficult issue of death.

Bartosz Brzeskot 

Winner of literary competitions. 

At the age of 18, he won a six-month 

literary scholarship in Paris. Director 

and screenwriter, announcer, founder 

of the Bez Oparcia comedy group. Former leader 

of the Krakow-based comedy group Quasi Kabaret 

Rafała Kmity. Wrote television programmes and film 

scripts (Uwierz w Boga and Zielone noce). 

The award-winning film Nie ma takiego numeru marked 

his feature debut. 

Tygrys, a forty-year-old film director, lives life to the fullest, certainly not refraining from alcohol and cocaine. He 

has many wonderful friends and an endless array of adoring women. But whenever he sobers up, his buddies are 

gone, and the women prove to be reluctant to give him unconditional love; all that remains is a throbbing 

hangover. His alcoholic binges eventually land him in a court of law, and then he no longer has a choice: he has to 

go into therapy. He goes to his anti-alcohol treatment, hoping to receive a solution that will make all his problems 

disappear. Unfortunately the therapist staff has only one goal: to scam the poor patients for as much money as 

possible. Tygrys decides to stand up for the rest of his group.

CONTENTS fINDEX Kasia Rosłaniec 

Film director. Graduated in Economic 

Studies from the University of Gdansk, 

and in Film Directing from the Warsaw 

Film School. Finished the Feature 

Filmmaking course at the Wajda School. Her first feature 

Galerianki (Mall Girls) won awards at film festival 

in Cottbus, Gdynia, Koszalin, Seoul, Valencia, Zittau, 

and Zlin. 

Natalia is a 17-year–old mom. But she’s not your stereotypical teenage mother; she had her son Antek simply 

because she wanted to. She decided to have a baby because it’s cool to have a baby. Her own little person, 

someone to buy designer clothes for. 

But why did Natalia really have Antek? Does the answer lie in the online blogs where teenagers write about their 

dreams? They want to have a kid so that somebody would finally really love them. And so that they too would 

have somebody to love.

At first glance they have nothing in common – their background, 

sensibility, values, life experience, even language are all different 

(she uses an educated vocabulary, while he often speaks in Silesian 

dialect). They are brought closer by loneliness and feeling 

of detachment from the hostile world of new capitalism. Left to 

depend on one another, they find emotions to share. All the prejudice 

is gone; it is replaced by mutual fondness and understanding, if 

not a deeper emotional bond that blossoms in the autumn years 

of their lives.

In exchange for a flat, he is to pick up a certain young woman, then pass her on to his employer. This indecent 

proposal drags the three protagonists into a world of fear, which they were previously able to hide from 

themselves and from others – fear od being someone ordinary.

A rural village in Poland. The new local priest, having been transferred from the city, opens a safe haven for 

young boys from pathological families. He quickly becomes a role model for the boys; he is also the local 

community’s hope for a fascinating new world that they had never seen before. But he is headed for disaster, 

which will bring others down along with him. 

A tragic story about the need for love. A tragic story about loneliness.

The story of an artist obsessed not only with his own death, but also the death of art resulting from the fact 

that its value in today’s world is determined by the market or by institutional manipulation. 

The role of Oskar Dawicki is played by Warsaw-based artist Oskar Dawicki. The protagonist balances between 

being himself and playing himself, between reality and performance, between life and art. 

However, The Performer is certainly not a biopic.

While searching for love on the Internet, a bashful man named Albert meets Barbara, who craves closeness as 

much as he does. She poses as the mysterious ‘Simonee’, while he poses as a French fancy man. When they 

arrange a date in the real world, they both send attractive substitutes. Then all four of them end up at a fancy 

hotel where a group of con artists hunts for a priceless diamond collection. In this ‘intrigue of errors’, it’s 

impossible to tell who is a suspect, and who is in love.

The story of three friends and founders of Paktofonika, the legendary Katowice-based hip-hop group. 

A portrait of the generation that grew up in the late 1990s, the first decade after Poland regained 

independence. 

A story about young people coming of age in a land of broken promises, who try to find their own place in life 

and are relentless in striving for their dreams.

2012: Yuma 

The term ‘Yuma’ was coined in the early 1990s to describe shoplifting escapades of young people from border 

towns to German shops. 

With help from his friends, Zyga quickly rises to the position of the king of Yuma. He thrives in these 

misdimeanors. Thanks to Zyga and his crew, the whole town takes a leap forward in the standard of living. 

But the guys soon get in the way of the Russian mafia. And the German shop-owners have also had enough 

of constantly being robbed.

After seven years of living abroad, Natalia 

returns to Poland, where she had left 

behind her mother Zofia and her young 

daughter Hela. Natalia is now ready to 

become a real mother. What she doesn’t 

realize is that it is too late for her to enter 

her little girl’s world, the same world that 

she had abandoned several years earlier; 

a world once ruled by the heavy hand of her 

father.

Busy with her career in a Warsaw-based 

corporation, Celina hardly ever has time to 

visit her hometown. 

When she finally does, she ends up at 

a rather peculiar funeral. Whose funeral? 

That remains to be seen. 

Friends and relatives from completely 

different worlds come to the ceremony, 

bringing together people who otherwise 

never would have met. 

Before and After conveys a message 

of hope that not all goodbyes are forever. 

It is a tragicomic tale of love and parting.

There are three of them: a woman and two 

men. One day they meet on the roof 

of a skyscraper. They are all there for 

the same reason – they want to commit 

suicide. Why? Because of their feeling 

of helplessness against the rampaging 

financial crisis. 

A serious conflict unfolds among 

the threesome. It turns out that they have 

very different views on life after death. 

Sarah is deeply religious, John is an atheist, 

while Ben is agnostic and still on the fence. 

The only way to find out who is right is to 

make the Big Leap.

40- year-old Józef has few reasons to wake 

up every day with a smile. The number 

of women in his life is equal to the number 

of friends: zero. His living space is limited to 

about three square meters; that’s how 

much room he has both at work (a parking 

booth) and at home (a tiny room in his 

mother’s flat). His situation gets even more 

complicated when one day he is arrested 

by two strange men in bad suits.

10-year-old Seto eagerly awaits the birth 

of his baby brother. Unfortunately the baby 

dies soon after it is born, which leaves Seto 

deeply disappointed. 

To ease the suffering of Seto’s mother, 

uncle Ramzik brings a newborn lamb to 

feed on her breast milk instead of her own 

infant. Not understanding this strange 

situation, initially Seto hates the lamb, but 

over time he befriends his ‘milk brother’. 

The lamb eventually grows into an adult 

sheep and it is decided that the animal 

should return to the flock. Seto must once 

again face the trauma of loss.

of her soul becomes a part of you... 

After a fight with her lover, a girl in tears 

gets into a stranger’s car. Their journey 

sparks a mutual fascination, which 

eventually leads the man to look inside his 

heart and fulfill his most obsessive desires. 

In a labyrinth of colourful memories 

interwoven with the protagonist’s painful 

history, the fate of the girl inevitably 

becomes one with the fate 

of the imaginary fish.

A seemingly mundane discovery

Józef arrives at the waiting room of an old

POLAND 2012 

A short story about a man striving for a very 

definite goal. After he wakes up 

in the desert, he begins his journey along 

a road he knows only too well. When 

the sun sets, he reaches his destination, 

exhausted. A destination that feels like 

home to him.

three Elements 

Trzy żywioły 


A film about addictions that draw their 

victims in with the force of the elements. 

The three chapters in the film: Junkoholism, 

Hair 2 and The Lighter Revolution, discuss 

the issues of compulsive hoarding, drug 

addiction, and nicotine addiction 

respectively. Serious issues are handled 

in a way that is symbolic and even 

humorous. 

The film was animated using picture 

collage and object animation techniques; 

animated objects include lighters, hair, 

pieces of fabric, and random sundries. 

a film by Małgorzata Bosek 



00-382 Warsaw, +48 695 480 787, 



A train. A long and tiring journey. A mother 

and daughter travel together. A stranger 

enters the compartment in which they 

travel. The younger woman begins 

daydreaming of a passionate adventure, 

while the strict older lady sees 

the newcomer as a dangerous individual.

POLAND 2012 

CONtENts fINDEX A painter can often be a frail and helpless 

human being; it’s a good idea to have his 

activities supported by someone who 

possesses almost divine powers. But what 

will happen if the supporter has a different 

view of the artist’s future career than the 

artist himself? 

Wings 3D attempts to bring the world 

created in the paintings of Nikifor Krynicki 

to life.
