AFTER THE RAIN<\/span> After an earthquake razed a Chinese city to the ground in 2008, more than six thousand parents were encouraged to replace the children they lost and move on with their lives. The film follows two of these families for over a decade. Haunted by fear, resentment, and unspeakable grief, the families find hope beyond intergenerational trauma to build an uncertain tomorrow.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>\u4e24\u4e2a\u661f\u7403 \nCALLS<\/span> The emergency call center 112 receives numerous phone calls every day. The operators are attempting to deal with a variety of problems, both outside as well as with tensions within their office, meanwhile setting boundaries and dealing with their own emotions.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Po\u0142\u0105czenia \nFIRE OF LOVE<\/span> The film focuses on Katia and Maurice Krafft, their love of each other, and getting as close as possible to fiery volcanoes. For over two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple was seduced by the thrill and danger of this elemental love triangle, roaming the planet, chasing eruptions and documenting their discoveries in stunning photographs and breath-taking film to share with an increasingly curious public in media appearances. They died together in 1991, due to a volcano eruption in Japan.<\/p>\n Polish title: <\/strong>Wulkan mi\u0142o\u015bci GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE<\/span> The film is an immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, guided by naturalist and environmentalist Zoe Lucas who has lived over 40 years on this remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Shot on 16mm and created using a scope of innovative eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, this experimental documentary is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world. Much like a field book, the film tracks its protagonist\u2019s labor to collect, clean and document marine litter that persistently washes up on the island shores.<\/p>\n Polish title: <\/strong>Geografie samotno\u015bci GOOD NIGHT OPPY<\/span> The film tells the inspirational true story of Opportunity, a rover that was sent to Mars for a 90-day mission but ended up surviving for 15 years. The film follows Opportunity\u2019s groundbreaking journey on the red planet and the remarkable bond forged between a robot and her humans millions of miles away.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Ryan White HAHUT<\/strong><\/span> Irek Sobota is a professor at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun and head of the Polar Research Centre. His scientific activity is strictly related to managing the Polar Station on Spitsbergen. Within the span of the last 20 years, he participated in more than 30 research expeditions. One could say that the Arctic is his second habitat, as he spends a couple of months there, every single year. This is a man torn between two homes and two totally different worlds. When paying a visit to one of them, he usually misses the other. Hahut<\/em> is a documentary dedicated to passion, which can also become one\u2019s occupation.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Ryszard Kruk HBO CAMERA ASSESSMENT SERIES 2023<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The HBO Camera Assessment Series, started over 10 years ago, is a project that seeks to create a rich and expansive image library, available to producers, directors, and cinematographers across the entire Warner Bros. Discovery family. The goal of this one-of-a-kind project is to not determine what camera is \u201cbest\u201d, but to determine what camera is appropriate for each individual scenario we face across the vast quantity of productions made by the HBO, and the wider Warner Bros. Discovery.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Suny Behar Documentary looking at the German film industry between 1933 and 1945, showing how their state-funded productions shaped public opinion during this time. The film explores the overly flamboyant dramas used to distract the masses from the horrors of war and even to encourage war martyrdom for the sake of the progression of the Third Reich.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> R\u00fcdiger Suchsland <\/p>\n HOW DO YOU MEASURE A YEAR?<\/span> For 17 years, Jay Rosenblatt filmed his daughter Ella on her birthday, asking her the same questions. In just 29 minutes, we watch her grow from a toddler to a young woman with all the beautiful and awkward stages in between. Each phase is captured fleetingly but makes an indelible mark. Her responses to her father\u2019s questions are just a backdrop for a deeper story of parental love, acceptance, and ultimately, independence.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Jay Rosenblatt IN HER HANDS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Filmed across two turbulent years, In Her Hands<\/em> tells the story of Zarifa Ghafari, who at 26 became one of Afghanistan\u2019s first female mayors and the youngest to ever hold the position. The film documents her fight for survival against the backdrop of her country\u2019s accelerated unravelling. As Western forces announce their retreat and the Taliban start their sweep back to power, Zarifa and women across the country face a new reality. Amid these tectonic changes, Zarifa must make the most difficult decision of her life.<\/p>\n Directors:<\/strong> Tamana Ayazi, Marcel Mettelsiefen JUVENILE<\/span> Over a period of one year the adolescent inmates of the Juvenile Correctional Facility in Serbia search for a way to escape their destiny. The annual New Year\u2019s Eve celebration in the facility may be their only visible hope. These are the only few hours in the entire year when the boys and the girls will be allowed to spend time together and possibly find love.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Jovan Todorovi\u0107 \u00a0<\/p>\n KARAOKE PARADISE<\/span> Evi is Finland\u2019s most experienced karaoke hostess. Yet again, she packs her equipment and starts a car engine to travel through the northern landscapes of Finland. Her journey interconnects with the stories of the film. Toni, the shyest guy in the world, catches everyone\u2019s eyes when on stage. Kari is searching for love and sings in his empty karaoke car repair shop. Elina can hardly walk because of Parkinson\u2019s, but punk songs make her dance. Laura sings because talking is too painful. It looks like Finns have found a unique way out of loneliness: they sing.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Karaokeparatiisi \u00a0<\/p>\n NATURAL BORN WINNERS<\/span> It\u2019s not soccer, it\u2019s more than football, it\u2019s amp futbol. The cutthroat season, filled with uncertainties involving the Coronavirus pandemic, leads the players and the coaching staff to the limits of human capacities. They are on tenterhooks, the pressure rises and there comes a question: who can truly put up with this? Is it the brotherhood that holds them together or perhaps their enormous determination in achieving their goal? What is their goal? Natural Born Winners<\/em> is a documentary picturing the team players with limb amputations and their teamwork struggle on the path to European Championship.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>Urodzeni zwyci\u0119zcy \nONCE UPON A TIME IN QUIZCA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n From a small town in the mountains, the voice of an old peasant emerges to bring back a lost memory: the solo death of one of his closest friends. Some horsemen, also old friends, embark on a restorative odyssey.<\/p>\n Original title: <\/strong>\u00c9rase una vez en Quizca \nPOLA\u0143SKI, HOROWITZ. HOMETOWN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Two artists, photographer Ryszard Horowitz and director Roman Pola\u0144ski, met after decades in their hometown and are on a walk-about around Krak\u00f3w, following the trail of their wartime experiences. They walk through the streets of Kazimierz and the former ghetto, look into the apartments where they spent their childhood and remember those who are no longer alive, as well as those who helped them survive the Holocaust. The film is a colourful tale about childhood, friendship, the same Jewish fate and, above all, about the place that continues to remain their home.<\/p>\n Director:<\/strong> Anna Kokoszka-Romer, Mateusz Kud\u0142a
