THE FILM "THE GOVERNANCE OF LOVE" AWARDED IN CANADA

Last Sunday, on 11 May, the documentary film festival DOXA ended in Vancouver. The film by Adela Kaczmarek was awarded an honourable mention at the festival.

This year's edition of the festival DOXA, organised in Vancouver, was held from 2 to 11 May. The documentary "The Governance of Love," by Adela Kaczmarek, which was screened at DOXA in the Inner Life: Shorts Program section, was awarded an honourable mention in the short film category.

The protagonist of "The Governance of Love" lives simultaneously in several realities. Characters and events from the real world mingle with the ones created by his imagination. In his own way, he himself looks for his place in these worlds. He spins his tales, dreaming about the governance of love in Poland. His world, in spite of its naivety, makes us reflect on existential issues of good and evil.  Using animation, the director wants to depict inner life of the mentally ill protagonist. In the graphic layer of the film, she used the works spontaneously made by the protagonist.

This year, at the festival DOXA, apart from "The Governanace of Love," the following four Polish films were shown: "To Fly Or Not To Fly" by Aniela Gabryel, "Small Instruments" by Edyta Wróblewska,"Abu Haraz" by Maciej Drygas and "Our Curse" by Tomasz Śliwiński.
