\n
Directors\u2019 Debuts Competition<\/strong> was initiated in 2010 due to the Festival\u2019s increasing openness to the noteworthy artists and the new film phenomena they create. The selection committee nominates first or second non-documentary feature films made by young directors and cinematographers. The idea of creating additional competition sections was a natural consequence of our previous activities. For years we have been promoting innovative projects that combine intellectual freedom, remarkable insight into world affairs and a desire to inspire other artists of the screen.<\/div>\n
Directors\u2019 Debuts Competition<\/strong> brings new discoveries: great movies of high artistic value and great filmmakers whose new ventures surprise not only the Jury members but all audiences around the world as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Competition is under the patronage of Polish Filmmakers Association<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Blaze, a teenager, is the sole witness to a woman being violently attacked. Left catatonic with shock, she struggles to make sense of what she saw. She retreats into imaginary worlds, where the shimmering magic dragon who has been her companion since childhood, allows her to activate her own rage and ultimately find renewal. And while her childhood is shattered forever, she is finally able to walk into the future unafraid. A unique hybrid of VFX, live action, puppetry and animation, Blaze is an ode to female courage and a celebration of the power of the imagination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TWO FRIENDS<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The aftermath of Babri Mosque demolition and the Bombay blasts in India, 1992-1993, found its violent echoes even in a remote village of West Bengal adjacent to the India-Bangladesh border where the story begins to unfold. A story of friendship between two little boys belonging to two warring religious communities. Palash (8) is the son of a Hindu Brahmin, while Safikul (8) is the son of a Muslim weaver. The innocence of Palash and Safikul receives its sustenance from nature. The greenery of the village, the river and the vast stretch of paddy fields playfully rebound the echoes of the voices and the laughter of the boys. However, relentless fate arrives quietly, when separation becomes the destiny of their friendship. How the boys face the farewell and spread wings to fly again.<\/p>\n
