Special Jury Mention for the ”Venice” in Cleveland

    "Venice" by Jan Jakub Kolski has been honored with the Special Jury Mention for Cinematography by Arthur Reinhartd at this year's 35th Cleveland International Film Festival. This is the next of the important international prizes for the film in the North America.

    The last Jan Jakub Kolski's film, produced by the Akson Studio and TVP, has already gained a considerable interest abroad (Best Artistic Contribution Prize at the Montreal World Film Festival 2010) as well as in Poland (Grand Prix of the Camerimage Film Festival 2010 and several prizes at the Gdynia Polish Film Festival). "Venice", from the director of the "Jasminum" and "Pornography", is a carnival of imagination and fantasy. It is a fascinating, beautifully filmed story about growing up, and hoping for deliverance through dreams and rebellion against the surrounding reality. In this magical world the most beautiful Polish actresses, Magdalena Cielecka and Agnieszka Grochowska, create outstanding roles.

    This year's jubilee edition of the Cleveland Film Festival attracted numerous viewers, who had an opportunity to see over 150 feature and 130 short films from around 60 countries.
