HER DOCS FILM FESTIVAL ONLINE - HERSTORIE NA DZIEN KOBIET
THE VIBRANT VILLAGE
Recommended. A brilliant satirical short film: when men drink in a bar, women manufacture vibrators.
I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I GET THERE
Watchable. The conversations of a young artist with her overly apprehensive mother and a police officer at some point get hilarious. But there's no point in this short film other than showing the two points of view.
NIE MASZ DYSTANSU (YOU ARE OVERREACTING)
Recommended. A wonderful short film on rape culture, using common people's and real life politicians' statements on women.
ER SIE ICH (HE SHE I)
Switched off. Strangers dissect their convoluted relationship. An avoidant man and a loving woman - bog-standard. Altogether a boring autopsy of a dead relationship.
KATE NASH: UNDERESTIMATE THE GIRL
Recommended. I hadn't even heard of this artist before and I'm still not a fan of her type of music but her life story where "the universe" would sometimes say "no" or "swing" her in a specific direction proved to be fascinating and now I'm wholeheartedly rooting for her. Kate's colourful attires, wonderful hairstyles and imaginative make-up change over and over again as you follow her highs and lows round the world. At some point the story gets criminal and you feel angry about the "badass reputation" being style in the LA music industry. Amazing how she drew on feminine powers to fight the evil ex-manager in court. It's also a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at money-making in music. Film-wise, her most adorable dog Stella is the icing on the cake.
The Polish short films enjoyed top-notch sound, I had an impression I found myself in the cinema. The general screening quality was fine, a bit annoying you have to set up an account for the Pięć Smaków platform even for the free screenings.
