TRANSLATLANTYK FESTIVAL 2019
The festival, taking place in Łódź, Poland from 12th to 19th July, sounds intriguing. Paweł Borowski, the director of recent "Ja teraz kłamię" ("I Am Lying Now"), together with two foreign film critics, will be in the short films jury. VOX bed cinema offers 50 beds for special in-bed screenings with individual screens showing the same movie, with the option of pulling curtains. One bed accommodates 2-6 viewers. SWPS (University of Social Sciences and Humanities) will hold lectures for listeners in the beds at 6 p.m. every day. Rafał Woś will moderate debates on unconditional basic income, on robots working for us rather than instead of us and on Europe as a community it no longer is. A Kamera Akcja debate will try to answer whether movie makers and critics speak the same language. Instant Composition Contest will have composers playing to the picture straightaway. There's free entry to the contest and viewers are encouraged to bring children, especially babies, in order to test how much the composers can bear. Meetings for the film industry will feature a new one - on "Women in cinema" and their problems. The main cinema at the festival will be Cinema City Manufaktura where most of the movie screenings and all masterclasses will take place. Cinema City is also a sponsor. The fantastic "space" poster was created by a Polish artist living in Ibiza. There are versions of the poster with an alien. The artist's exhibition of sculptures will be hosted at EC1. The festival spot is superb too. Free screenings will be held in Łódź libraries. A movie which will have its Polish premiere at the festival is:
SYSTEMSPRENGER (SYSTEM CRASHER)
Recommended. Heavy stuff. Heart-wrenching and tear-jerking. Good psychology. The unruly kid is shown from both perspectives: of the child and of adults. The story explains how sometimes nothing can be done. The end credits look funny and include "war lecker" ("was tasty") at the catering data.
