Before you is a student of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School, Marta Z. Nowak, the director of a documentary etude titled "The Claw" which had its international premiere at the recently concluded 70th edition of the International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen!

🎬 The Claw | directed by Marta Z. Nowak | cinematography by Estera Świętosławska | production management by Dorota Chłapek | prod. Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School, University of Silesia, 2023.

In a desolate village, a puppeteer works in peace on a special project. His goal unexpectedly gains momentum, when the man decides to take in refugees from eastern Ukraine. Łukasz's audacious project allows the family to take their minds off the difficult reality. He himself gains companions, who want to help him in his bold pursuit.

Soon there will be another opportunity to see The Claw on festival screens, this time at the 21st Neisse Film Festival starting next week. The Claw will be presented in the first block of short films on May 15th at the Camillo cinema (Görlitz).

Congratulations to the entire team of The Claw, the film is a collaborative effort, and every success is the result of good teamwork, bravo!

The second day of the 21st Węgiel Film Festival is now just a beautiful memory, thank you for being with us! But don't stray too far, because the festival's excitement continues...

Thursday is primarily dedicated to pitching sessions at the 3rd Student Film Market, where we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the idea for a series directed by our student, Gracjana Piechula. Her etude titled "Honey Bunny" has been selected for the official lineup of the 64th Krakow Film Festival. Who knows, perhaps this title will accompany us for a long time to come?

Festival participants also had the opportunity to learn about the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence in the audiovisual industry, with a debate led by Katarzyna Madaj-Kozłowska, Marcin Marczyk, and Joanna Krzyżewska from the Wajda School & Studio. Similarly, in the case of the masterclass with Piotr Bartuszek, the guiding question was: will AI replace the casting director?

Today marks another day of the festival, with highlights including screenings of "Superunit" by Teresa Czepiec (2:00 PM), "Good Boy" directed by Mikołaj Piszczan (3:00 PM, Lodz Film School / PWSFTviT), a Masterclass with Jaśmina Polak (4:00 PM, led by Piotr Domalewski). And for fans of documentary cinema, we have a block of short documentaries starting at 7:00 PM in our cinema hall. See you there!
