Introduction
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
With great pleasure we present you the latest catalogue of recent Polish film
productions to be seen in cinemas in 2009. Last year’s Polish Film Festival in
Gdynia generated great optimism, we are deeply convinced now that the Polish
films are becoming increasingly better in every aspect, thanks to their diversity,
originality, and excellent production workmanship. Some of them tell universal
stories. I deeply believe that the film is the artistic domain and part of our
national heritage which best represents Poland abroad.
I am also convinced that the Polish film industry, with its potential and capacity, is
still lacking its due recognition and appreciation by the international film
community.
The Polish Film Institute hopes to change this in 2009.
Agnieszka Odorowicz
Director, Polish Film Institute
The landmark changes in the Polish film industry which have occurred following the
establishment of the Polish Film Institute in 2006, are entwined with the fate of
my second film. The film “Tricks” was submitted to the first Institute’s session
which inaugurated the modern system of supporting film production. This gave
me an unprecedented opportunity to observe these changes, or even participate
in them on a number of occasions. In my opinion, some extraordinary films
created in that period, especially those with uncompromising artistic values and
with apparent personal imprints, decide about the strength of the present Polish
cinema. The list comprises of both the films by young filmmakers, e.g. “33
Scenes from Life” by Małgorzata Szumowska, as well as the old-school master
directors, e.g. “Four Nights with Anna” by Jerzy Skolimowski. Representing the
Polish cinema abroad gives reasons for pride, so I feel particularly privileged and
happy about “Tricks” being selected as a Polish entry for the Oscar for Best
Foreign Language Film.
Andrzej Jakimowski
director
We cherish a long-established and distinguished tradition; Polish Film School of the
50s, and the art cinema of 70s and 80s are the trademarks of the Polish cinema.
In the recent decades this historic perspective has dominated our perception and
thoughts of the cinema, today however we witness its reassessment. The current
changes are particularly marked with the documentary films with which young
filmmakers win audiences and reap laurels all over the world yet again.
I do believe that we enter the period of the first significant successes also in the
feature film category. The youngest generation of directors has just set out to
make their feature-length debuts. We will learn very soon how their passion and
sensitivity will outline new horizons of the Polish cinema. I do personally believe
that some of them will reach the peaks of artistic success.
Certainly, a major role in this achievement will be played by the Polish Film Institute
the position of which as a patron of young art cannot be overestimated.

The Polish Film Institute was established and launched its activities in September 2005; with its
creation a new cutting edge system of endorsing the national cinematography has been
introduced in Poland.
One of the most important features of this system is its comprehensiveness, which means
providing support at all stages of the film production, and then promoting the film among
potential audiences not only in Poland but also abroad.
The Polish Film Institute co-finances the productions undertaken by the Polish film industry at
various stages which include project development, production, promotion and distribution and
finally disseminating the cinema culture and fostering professional development of
filmmakers.
Furthermore, one of the most important tasks for the Institute is to promote the Polish cinema
abroad. In 2008 Polish films were presented at more than 260 international and Polish film
festivals, including the most prominent ones in Berlin, Cannes, Karlovy Vary, Venice, Locarno,
Toronto, Tokio, Pusan. They have received over 70 international awards. The Institute
supported these films financially, but more importantly, promoted them by organizing film
shows, concerts, conferences and meetings with film makers and actors.
After establishment of the Polish Film Institute, the international participation in the Polish film
productions has increased ten times. In 2008 Polish Film Institute has supported over 150
Polish and international productions (features, documentaries, animation) with the amount of
over 20 M EUR, including the films produced by Lars von Tier, Sergey Dvortsevoy, Jerzy
Skolimowski and Agnieszka Holland.
The Polish Film Institute has branded the Polish cinema with a legible trademark.

The Spring of 1981. Poland experiences a wave of industrial unrest. The communist government drafts a
plan how to destroy the Solidarity Trade Union. In a small sea-side town, four eighteen years old
boys form a punk-rock band. Janek, a son of a navy captain, becomes the band's leader. The boys do
not only share the passion of music; they are also infatuated with a beautifully mature wife of a
political officer, Mrs Sokołowska who is Janek's neighbour, and with their school girl friend Basia who
is a daughter of a Trade Union member. On 13th of December 1981, politics brutally enters into the
boys' care-free lives. Officer Sokołowski become a military commissioner who exercises supreme
power in this small town.

AWARD
2008 – Golden Claqueur – Radio
Gdansk Award
A story about people in the sate of emotional lethargy.
Róża is an actress, but she cannot work because she suffers from narcolepsy.
She suspects her husband of infidelity but she is afraid to face this
challenge. A young doctor, Adam, is torn between remaining loyal to his
parents and selecting his own life path. Robert, a well-known writer, is
facing a difficult challenge... A sheer coincidence makes the life paths of
our heroes cross and the fate gives them a chance to liberate themselves
from the emotional lethargy.

Leon, a worker at a medical waste incinerating plant, is helplessly in love
with Anna, a nurse from a local hospital. His introvert behaviour and
psychopathic physiognomy make him a suspect for the police. His only
fault is being in love; love which is weird, unusual, and existing within
the sphere of unfulfilled dreams.

The backstage of the grand politics of the Second World War. The last days of General Sikorski’s life,
shortly before the tragic crash in Gibraltar. General, together with his daughter Zofia, and team of his
closest associates, stays at the palace of the Gibraltar Governor, Mason Macfarlane who is to
convince Sikorski to give away the documents proving the murder of Polish Army officers in Katyń.
When General refuses firmly to do so, the plan of his assassination is approved.
Until now, the death of General Sikorski is widely discussed. The film is based on the research conducted
by Dariusz Baliszewski according to which the Gibraltar tragedy was just a mystification, and General
Sikorski was murdered.

Mirka grew up in the poor Warsaw Praga neighborhood. Despite that she managed to graduate from a
prestigious department of law. It seems that she forgot about her roots. Thanks to her education,
however, she may turn out to be the last chance for the dwellers of an old Praga tenants house. To
help the people close to her, Mirka, using her personal charm, inborn cunning and tricks of
Hollywood descent, will risk to do the craziest thing in her present career...

Year 1980. Kamil, a student of Polish philology, publishes an experimental poem in a prestigious periodical. The
world around is engulfed with the Solidarity revolution; the reality requires everyone to make straight forward
choices about which side of the barricade one stands. The stance of a rebellious oppositionists writer is very
tempting, but maintain this position one has to... write. Meanwhile, the creative inspiration abandons our
hero; he does not do his best at his studies either.
In order to avoid being conscripted, Kamil is taken to a psychiatric hospital for observation. There, he comes across
a manuscript of an excellent novel which was left behind by an oversensitive room-mate who committed a
suicide. Nobody but Kamil knows about the existence of the masterpiece...

wooden items; each item has preserved a piece of this magical power. Two children, who ran away

wood; the chair has the ability to act as a living creature and fulfil the wishes of everyone who sits
on it...

The film attempts at presenting an up-to-date decoding of the Peter Bruegel's painting “The Procession
to Calvary”. The action takes place in Flanders of 1564, under the Spanish oppression, when Bruegel
was painting his masterpiece. The film shows the lives of several people, out of the hundreds, who
were immortalized on the canvas. The suffering of Christ is entwined with the suffering of Flanders
under the political and religious Spanish oppression. The passion theme blends with the historical
realities.

When Kostek meets Luna, he has no doubts that this beautiful blonde, with a mysterious look in her eyes, is his
“second orange half”. However, both differ so much that it seem impossible they will ever be together. She is a
former special forces service woman, and at present Krav Maga Israeli martial art instructor; he is a composer of
church music. She is fascinated with feminist movements; he was born and brought up in an ultra catholic family.
She has just split with a married TV journalist, Norbert Plesica, following their romance of many years', and is now
involved with Klara Rojek, a leader of the Polish feminists; following the fiasco of his engagement with Kasia, a
director of sound, he has plunged into loneliness. She is a friend to a man who has become the Polish Woman of
the Year; he entrusts his secretes to a mysterious doctor Gebauer who is involved in medical drugs testing.

Anna starts to look for a sperm donor. All the men asked for this unusual favour have some special
reasons to do it. Robert is a gay, so this unique chance to have a child is tempting. Marek, who as an

opportunity for emotional salvation. Marian is set on a military mission to Afghanistan, and wants
to leave something behind him...

This is an adaptation of a famous novel which depicts a surrealistic mentality of the contemporary Poles,
the mentality which was influenced by the communism. Poland is looked at through the eyes of an
18-years-old female writer. The character she has created using her imagination is a man without
any past or future, a man who lives only within the present defined by the writer. The only thing the
man knows about himself is the fact that he was abandoned by his beloved woman, Magda. Not
only is he searching for his lost love but also his own identity...

A few days from the lives of young people, i.e. Bartek, Marta and Robert, who
live in one of the Silesian cities. They all differ from one another in all
possible aspects – economic status, education or aspirations. Their lives
seem to be stable and predictable, but when their life paths cross one
another during one apparently ordinary weekend, each and every one of
them will experience something that will change the way they think
about themselves and their future.

The first part of the film trilogy, i.e. “21:37”, “21:38”, “21:42”, which tells about choices and chances.
On 2nd of April 2005, at 21:37, Pope John Paul II died. Can the death of the Pope, who was loved by the
Poles so much, change their lives? The answer to this question is not easy. But among urban
hubbub, darkness and dirt, a spark of hope appears.
Among the characters appearing in the film, there is a director who suffers a deep professional crisis, a
police woman who is used as bait to catch a serial killer, a male nurse looking after a terminally ill
girl who does not want to live anymore, and a genius IT student who creates computer viruses.

Three Russian boys living at the train station are setting off into the world, crossing the borders, real and
arbitrary ones. Child naivety and roguishness, they are looking for a magic place where the dreams
come true. Those simple ones. They are looking for different life, better world. Unusual journey of
three young characters, little-grand heroes in our strange times.

The story of Janosik, a legendary “Central European Robin Hood”, based on a real XVIII century documents and a
romantic legend, operating with a very subjective, original lyricism. The hero is tragic and at the same time
very contemporary. He could be an American boy, influenced by communing with cruelty of the war, who
comes back from Iraq to the city ghetto and becomes a leader of a gang.

POLAND 2009
A big, modern city. 24 hours glued together from the life scraps of Broad-shouldered Businessman,
Scruffy Porker, Some Jerk, Skinny Newsboy, Sweaty Taxi Driver, Petite Blond, Elegant Doc, and others.
Sometimes their fates intertwine naturally, but at times, it is simply accidental. We are lead down
deep into the history of love, hate, betrayal, sex, violence, and other filth.

A contemporary version of a
medieval legend about
lovers who could not
meet as a result of a
curse. Agnieszka and
Lucek have been
“cursed” with an
apartment mortgage.
The need to pay it forces
them to work longer
hours. They stop to see
each other, since their
working hours overlap.
They come across an
idea of recording and
sending each other video
messages. With the time
passing by, Lucek sinks
dangerously in the
created world and loses
touch with Agnieszka.
Then he meets Wera...

Wacek, an academic
teacher, is afraid that
his past collaboration
with the state secrete
police will be disclosed
one day. Not being able
to help him, his wife,
Grażyna vented all her
anger and frustration
on the... kitchen rat.
Their daughter, Kama, is
a person lured by the
contemporary world
which drags her in and
then spits out... A
tragicomedy about
deceptive hope, false
love, helpless rebellion
and absurd situations.

A comedy of errors. Bugi, a
guitarist, mistakes a
marihuana plant for
his girlfriend; a bad
police officer confuses
his duty with the “The
Bold and the
Beautiful” TV series;
and a certain nonsubtle love affair of a
second-rate journalist
with an phone-in quiz
female presenter is
washed away into the
Indian Ocean by the

Reportedly, 5 handshakes are
enough to get in contact with
any person anywhere in the
world; a Vietnamese street
seller, a policeman in England,
or even a movie star from
Hollywood. In this story, only
three handshakes are enough.
Emil who longs to meet his idol,
David Lynch; Dagmara who has
just returned to Poland to find a
good job; and Beata who
dreams about the career of a
fashion model in Paris. Do these
people have anything else in
common, apart from just an
accidental encounter?

“18-years-old, height: 168
cm, weight: 49 kg, no
disease or additcions”
– this is a definition of
an ideal organ donor.
Dr Wilk, an
anaesthesiologist,
intends to confirm the
death of an 18-yearsold suicide girl. The
girl's mother, being
mistrustful towards
the doctors, will not
