The Culture Cultivator documentary, produced by the Krzysztof Kieslowski Faculty of Radio and Television, has been selected for the competition at the 22. International Film Festival in Drama (Greece), which starts on 19 September. The film directed by Anna Urbańczyk and cinematographed by Maciej Czułowski is the only Polish title in the competition program. The screening in Greece will be the international premiere of The Culture Cultivator.

The protagonist of the film is Daniel, creator of street art painted on barns and bus stops. He arrives to his native village to realize a new project. For this purpose he must face the apathy prevailing in the country and the isolation of its inhabitants. Daniel does not give up and while appealing to the spirit of community with the memories of a mysterious animal and ghosts, he prepares the opening of The Bus Stop.
