The organ­izers of the Inter­na­tional Doc­u­ment­ary Film Fest­ival in Mex­ico, which will take place from 21^st to 31^st Octo­ber, have announced the list of films qual­i­fied for the com­pet­i­tion pro­gram. Among them, there are six Pol­ish films.

It is the fifth time when the Mex­ican audi­ence will have an oppor­tun­ity to get acquain­ted with doc­u­ment­ary cinema from around the world. Inter­na­tional Doc­u­ment­ary Film Fest­ival in Mex­ico offers a wide vari­ety of films, among which the Pol­ish ones appear almost every year. In 2008, the doc­u­ment­ary “The First Day” by Mar­cin Sauter was not only shown at the fest­ival, but also given the Grand Prix.

Dur­ing this year’s edi­tion of the Mex­ican fest­ival, five Pol­ish films will com­pete for the main prize of the Inter­na­tional Short Film Competition:

1. Plain land­scape with a cradle, dir. Arka­di­usz Biedrzycki

2. A Woman Sought, dir. Michał Marczak

3. Chasm, dir. Woj­ciech Kasperski

4. Out of reach, dir. Jakub Stożek

Apart from this, the film „An Amer­ican in the Com­mun­ist Poland” by Piotr Mor­awski and Rysz­ard Kaczyński was qual­i­fied for the TV Doc­u­ment­ary Competition.
