ARTEKINO FESTIVAL ONLINE

КОТКА В СТЕНАТА (CAT IN THE WALL) DIRECTORS Q&A

The funny, comical bits are the closest to the truth. If it makes you laugh, it's true.

THE 8TH

Watchable. A protracted summary of the 35 years of fight for abortion rights in Ireland. It sums up what you have most likely known already and shows the activists in action which is kind of dull, needless red tape. On the other hands, when I compare the situation to Poland, Ireland has gone through a series of harder shocks: women's slave work in a shelter run by nuns, children's mass graves, also a raped teenager prevented from leaving the country to abort or a woman who died because she was refused abortion. An important reminder women's hearts beat too and the unborn don't need to be born.

It was protracted more than necessary by mojeekino.pl where it stuttered which significantly slowed down the film. Again, tiny subtitles but at least Irish accent was perfectly comprehensible. And due to lots of newspaper clips in the documentary it was better to watch it next to the screen anyway, those wouldn't be legible from a distance.
