How did our creators enjoy their time in Kraków?

The first day of the festival, and the very first screening, was opened by our two movies! Their premieres had "Neverlandex" by Agata Kapuścińska and "JUMP!" by Michał Cysewski. Both of them were warmly greeted by the wievers, adding interesting new topics, surprising pictures and extraordinary acting roles to the festival program.

It was not the end of our time in Krakow. Thanks to the full acreditation from the festival our creators had the opportunity to take part in many industry and artistic events. The crew of "Neverlandex" were also invited to talk with Tomasz Schimscheiner, who played a second main role in their movie, during an event "To play in shorts" - a special meeting focused on actors playing in short movies. 

You can also read and listen about the movie "Neverlandex" in Polish media: in Wysokie Obcasy magazine and on Radio Kraków Kultura.

DAY 2nd:

On the second day of the festival the movie "Qaher" had its premiere. It is a moving story made by Nada Khalifa, a Palestinian director and a graduate from Warsaw Film School. Her diploma movie follows a jurney of a man who is coming back to occupied Palestine after being an expat for a long time.

The director Nada Khalifa and the cinematographer Oscar Lui took part in a Q&A session after the screening. Nada's family was also present at the premiere - thank you for your support at this important day!
