Dur­ing this year’s edi­tion of Aye Aye Film Fest­ival in Nancy, France, Pol­ish doc­u­ment­ary film will be rep­res­en­ted in the com­pet­i­tion, out­side the com­pet­i­tion and in the spe­cial screen­ing “The Best of Selection”.

“Take A Look” by Adam Palenta has been qual­i­fied for the festival’s com­pet­i­tion. The film’s prot­ag­on­ists, sight­less chil­dren, take the viewer for a trip to their world of sens­it­iv­ity and ima­gin­a­tion. Using only the sense of touch, they try to find out what a given pic­ture shows. It turns out that it looks totally dif­fer­ent in real­ity. The sens­it­iv­ity of a sight­less child is much greater than what a per­son can see using their eyes.

In a spe­cial extra-​competition screen­ing, the doc­u­ment­ary by Filip Mar­czewski “Just Like Heaven” will be shown. It tells a story of a Dutch couple who have been liv­ing in Poland for two years. They settled down in a des­ol­ate place, and now they live in dif­fi­cult con­di­tions, without mod­ern creature com­forts. They dream about build­ing a house and run­ning a farm. 

The film by Mar­cin Sauter “Behind the fence” was spe­cially high­lighted by the organ­izers of the 15^th edi­tion of the fest­ival and was fea­tured in the “The Best of Selec­tion” sec­tion. It is a set of the best films which have been qual­i­fied for the fest­ival since its beginnings.

Fest­ival begins on 5^th Septem­ber and lasts 13 days.
