The latest edition of the Blaue Blume Polska Competition is now behind us! Although we didn’t secure the victory, we still have reasons to celebrate – Repetitions, directed by Maciej Czuchryta, has received a Jury Special Mention!

In the jury’s statement: This unique documentary in the competition touched the hearts of the audience with its authenticity and depth. It is a moving story about elderly people who opened up to the director, sharing their joy of life and reflections on what truly matters. "Repetitions" takes us on a subtle yet poignant journey through the most essential emotions that define our existence. It is a film about each of us, making it well worth watching.

The film Repetitions focuses on intimate interviews with residents, conducted in the gymnasium of a small-scale sanatorium. The repetitive exercises serve as catalysts for personal stories of pain and pleasure, revealing the most vivid moments of human life. This documentary is not only an aesthetic essay on suffering but also a story of regeneration and resilience.

All finalist films are available until the end of March on player.pl as part of the Blaue Blume 2025 collection. We encourage you to watch them!

Congratulations to all the finalists! 👏
