From among 1500 films sent in for the com­pet­i­tion at the Inter­na­tional Film Fest­ival in Odense, which will take place from 23^rd to 18^th August, three Pol­ish short films have been selected.

Inter­na­tional  Film Fest­ival in Odense, Den­mark, offers not only film screen­ings, but also diverse kinds of accom­pa­ny­ing events: con­ver­sa­tions with authors, debates, work­shops, as well as meet­ings enabling the par­ti­cipants to estab­lish con­tacts con­du­cive to the devel­op­ment of film projects. 

Dur­ing this year’s edi­tion, 93 films will be shown in the inter­na­tional com­pet­i­tion. Among the qual­i­fied ones, there are three Pol­ish short films:

- “Hanoi-​​Warsaw” by Katar­zyna Klimkiewicz

- “Sig­ni­fic­ant Oth­ers” by Dara von Dun­sen

- “The Lucky Ones” by Tomasz Wolski

The fea­ture film by Katar­zyna Klimkiewicz is a story about a young Viet­namese woman, Mai Anh, who man­ages to get to Poland via the green fron­tier and begins her jour­ney to Warsaw, where not only her fiancé awaits her, but also bet­ter life and the pos­sib­il­ity of mak­ing dreams come true. How­ever, the jour­ney through Poland is a road full of humi­li­ation and violence. 

“The Sig­ni­fic­ant Oth­ers” by Dara von Dun­sen, the gradu­ate of The Leon Schiller’s National Higher School of Film, Tele­vi­sion and Theatre in Łódź, is a story about a girl, who lost in her dys­func­tional dreams, fights with inflat­able alligator and her husband. 

The doc­u­ment­ary by Tomasz Wol­ski paints, through the image of Register Office, a pic­ture of our every­day life, but also – a pic­ture of every person’s fate. Through micro-​​scenes we observe dif­fer­ent stages of the rela­tion­ship between a woman and a man.
