7 Women of Different Ages (Hommage à Kieślowski) (dir. Zuzanna Solakiewicz, 2025, 15')

Zuzanna Solakiewicz reinterprets Kieślowski’s iconic film. In her feminist response, she argues that not only in the world of dance but also in the contemporary understanding of femininity, there is space for both sisterhood and intergenerational exchange of experiences, as well as the pure joy of being in one's body.

The Last Place on Earth (dir. Ewa Japola, 2025, 8')

The last remaining creatures are fighting for their lives in a place that stopped being hospitable to them long ago. Which side will humanity choose?

The Promise of a Quick Death in the Shrimp Valley (dir. Zuzanna Orch, 2026, 7')

The film explores the boundaries between human and animal perception in order to demonstrate that the “self” is a construct resulting from the way an organism interprets light and stimuli. Who we are depends on how we perceive the world.

The Last Wild River (dir. Agnieszka Kokowska, Anastazja Dąbrowska, 2026, 15')

Professor Witold Stróżyński fights to save the European crayfish in a tale of the fragility of nature and our responsibility for its survival.

MIX (dir. Klaudia Szott, 2026, 13')

The daughter of a Polish mother and Nigerian father discovers her story through archival films, exploring memory, identity, and belonging between two worlds.

A Q&A will follow the screening.
