The opening film is a short, Animated History Of Poland, by Tomek Baginski. Eight minutes doesn't seem like enough time to squeeze in over 1000 years of history. Major Polish historical events, the events that shaped the country, are beautifully animated and depicted. From her birth to being wiped off the map to Solidarity to the EU, Animated History Of Poland is a quick review that hopefully encourages viewers to do some historical digging of their own.
The feature length film is Rewers (Reverse) by Borys Lankosz. In 1950's Warsaw a quiet woman, Sabina, has just turned 30. Her mother and eccentric grandmother are frantic to find her a suitable husband. A string of seemingly eligible suitors are rejected by Sabina much to the chagrin of the matriarchs. That is until a devastatingly handsome and charming man, Bronislaw, sparks a series of events revealing a darker side of human, mainly female, nature. Shot in black and white and color Rewers is an authentic noir as seen through a Polish lens. Apologies for the trailer not being subtitled but be assured the film is!
