<\/td>\nLAST DAY OF SUMMER<\/b>
GOLDEN FROG – SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILMS COMPETITION<\/i>
cin. PIOTR STASIK
<\/span>dir. Piotr Stasik
Poland
32 min.
The Last Day of Summer<\/i> is an emotional journey to the times of childhood and a story about difficulties of entering the world of adults. We observe the process of growing up – from seven year old kid who learns how to read to a seventeen year old graduate cadet who has to decide about his future.
“(…) for its sensitively observed and composed cinematography, for its consistency of style and tone, and the intimacy with which the camera approaches its subject matter.” *<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n

<\/td>\nLITTLE ROSE<\/b>
BEST FILM – POLISH FILMS COMPETITION<\/i>
cin. PIOTR WOJTOWICZ
<\/span>dir. JAN KIDAWA – B\u0141ONSKI
Poland
118 min.
It is the late 1960s. A famous writer with ties to the political underground embarks on a romantic affair with a much younger, beautiful woman. Blinded by his feelings for her, he does not even suspect that their relationship might not be purely coincidental.
“This film told the most profoundly involving story. The woman at its heart dramatizes a half century of Polish history purely by being herself. The camera-work served this complicated tale by never distracting its viewers with technical bravura, leading us to feel what we were seeing.” *<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n
\n\n
<\/td>\nKORA, ZABAWA W CHOWANEGO<\/b>
BEST VIDEO – MUSIC VIDEOS COMPETITION<\/i>
cin. MAREK SANAK
<\/span>dir. BARTEK IGNACIUK <\/p>\n

“For the Best Video, the jury felt almost unanimously, that Kora Jackowska’s video for “Zabawa w chowanego” (“Game of Hide-and-Seek”) did an excellent job of visually contributing to communicating an important socially relevant message. An ambition which goes far above and beyond the scope of most videos, and we congratulate the film makers for their successful efforts and effective use of the medium.” *<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n
\n\n
<\/td>\nHTDA, THE SPACE IN BETWEEN<\/b>
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY – MUSIC VIDEOS COMPETITION<\/i>
cin. GREIG FRASER
<\/span>dir. Rupert Sanders<\/p>\n

“For Best Cinematography in a video, Jury has found Greig Fraser’s photography on the “The Space Between” video by How To Destroy Angels to be the perfect synthesis of sound and image. More than any other, this video looks like it sounds, and the only word to describe that is cinematographic perfection.” *<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n
\n\n
<\/td>\nVENICE<\/b>
GOLDEN FROG – MAIN COMPETITION<\/i>
cin. ARTHUR REINHART
<\/span>dir. Jan Jakub Kolski
Poland
110 min.
Marek’s childhood is shattered by war. His dream trip to Venice, a city whose architecture and history the boy has read on extensively, is a ritual of entering puberty. In the provincial mansion of his aunt, where the entire family found shelter from the chaos of war, Marek creates his very own Venice. <\/p>\n

“The jury found the film accomplished, impressionistic, atmospheric and extremely well-crafted.” *<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n
