… the Polish border!

For March we have scheduled our first visit to Dom Kultury Polskiej (The Centre for Polish Culture) in Vilnus. During the two days of special screenings, we will show 22 films from last year's KAN edition—films from the Foreign Film Competition on March 5, and Polish productions the day after.

The first film to screen will be The Attack of the Robots of Nebula 5, a moving short directed by Chema García Ibarra (Spain), which accompanies a young boy waiting for the end of the world. Bradford Schmidt's Welgunzer (USA) takes place in a confusing, multi-layered maze of co-existing time continua. As a part of the first day, we will show also animated films. Amongst others, A Helping Hand, directed by Adélia Šímova (Czech Republic)—a warm story, in which the eponymous hand has been literally lent. What is the outcome of it? See for yourselves on March 5!

The winner of the KAN 2009 Foreign Film Competition, equally beautiful and sad Thinking When Speaking, directed by Anders Emblem, could not be absent from our first day in Vilnus.

March 6 will be nice and easy thanks to films such as Tomasz Pawlak's animated Second Shift, which has won Bronze KANewka at KAN 2009, or the black-and-white short film by Maciej Prykowski, What Nobody Knows. It will be scary, too—a chill will run down your spine at Robert Wrzoska's Eleventh: Don't Escape.

To read about it is not enough—you have to see them all for yourselves. Details can be found here.
