Today marks the beginning of the 64th Krakow Film Festival, and we have something to boast about on this occasion!

During this year's edition of the Krakow Film Festival, the premiere of our short feature film titled Honey Bunny, directed by our student Gracjana Piechula, will take place. The main roles are played by Artur Barciś and Alina Chechelska.

🎬 Honey Bunny | directed by Gracjana Piechula | cinematography by Aleksandra Kamińska | production management by Marcin Kamiński | produced by the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School at the University of Silesia

A retired firefighter and breeder of fluffy rabbits discovers that his beloved wife, with whom he hasn't been intimate for a long time, has started working at a cuddle therapy salon. To win her back, he must confront his own sexuality and needs.

📆 The pre-premiere screening of the film will take place on May 28 at ASP Cinema (Polish competition, from 1:30 PM). The official premiere of Honey Bunny with a Q&A session will be held on May 31 at 3:00 PM at Pod Baranami Cinema.

🎭 It is also worth noting that Honey Bunny and other films can be watched as part of the 64th KFF on the festival's VOD platform, from May 31 to June 16.

However, we highly recommend watching on the big screen, and the next closest opportunity after the Krakow Film Festival will be the 43rd Youth and Film Festival, where this and many other of our films have been officially selected.

Additionally, we would like to congratulate our student Adelina Borets, whose full-length documentary debut titled Flowers of Ukraine has been included in the Polish Documentary Panorama at the 64th Krakow Film Festival.

🎬 Flowers of Ukraine | directed by Adelina Borets | cinematography by Bohdan Rozumnyi, Bohdan Borysenko | produced by Glib Lukianets (Gogol Film)

On a flower-filled plot in the heart of a block of flats in Kyiv lives 67-year-old Natalia. She raises goats and chickens, tends to her garden, and has been fighting with developers for years who want to build another property in place of her home.

📅 The documentary film can be watched on May 27 at 3:30 PM at Kijów Cinema, while the world premiere with a Q&A session will be held on Thursday, May 30 at 6:30 PM at Agrafka Cinema.

We encourage everyone interested to watch these and many other fascinating films that have made it into this year's program of the 64th Krakow Film Festival. There's surely something for everyone. Tickets are available for purchase on the organizer's website, which we highly recommend!

A huge round of applause for you, girls, and for everyone who worked hard to make these films possible. Congratulations and good luck.
