'Poland, Now' Selection at Adana Golden Boll

ANKARA, Turkey - Sept. 13, 2024 - PRLog -- The 'Poland, Now' selection, prepared in cooperation with the Embassy of Poland and the Travelling Festival, will feature important Polish productions of the recent period. This selection, which takes place in the World Cinema section of the festival, will bring together five films in total with cinema lovers in Adana for the first time.

Among the films in the selection, master director Jerzy Skolimowski's masterpiece 'AI' (EO, 2022), which won 31 awards at the Cannes Film Festival, including the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Original Music Award, stands out. The film was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2023. This production, which brings the world to the big screen through the eyes of a sad donkey, also won Skolimowski the festival's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Anna Jadowska's Woman On The Roof (Woman On The Roof, 2022), inspired by true events and about a 60-year-old woman's attempt to rob a bank, is a poignant drama with a memorable performance by Dorota Pomykala, who won the Best Actress Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Grzegorz Dębowski's Next To Nothing (2023) is a film about social resistance set in rural Poland. Dębowski, who was named the Breakout Director of the Year at the Polish Film Festival, presents the audience with a story full of tension.

Another important figure of Polish cinema, Robert Glinski's latest film 'The Shadow Man' (Strawman, 2023) reaches back to the communist era and depicts the psychological portrait of a secret police officer who followed Karol Wojtyla for 20 years before he became Pope John Paul II. This spy-thriller film presents the dark world of a man who succumbs to loneliness and despair.

The last production of the selection is 'Peasants' (2023), a collaboration between DK Welchman and Hugh Welchman, an animated film created with more than 42 thousand oil paintings. Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel by Wladyslaw Reymont, this film tells the story of a painful marriage in 19th century Poland and is a masterpiece of production.
