A film journey in search of the roots of the Dream Factory will open the anniversary 60th Krakow Film Festival.
The premiere of the film “Pollywood” by Paweł Ferdek will accompany the opening ceremony of the anniversary 60th Krakow Film Festival. It is a personal journey to America, which the director made in the footsteps of the Eastern European founders of Hollywood: Samuel Goldwyn, Luis B. Mayer and the Warner brothers. The ceremony with the participation of the filmmakers is held on the 31st of May.
Pollywood, dir. Paweł Ferdek
– It was here in Poland that it all began, the title of the film by Paweł Ferdek seems to suggest. So how not to start the anniversary celebrations with the return to the sources of the cinema, following in the footsteps of our ancestors, emphasises Krzysztof Gierat, the Director of the Festival. It was in Krakow where the first film screening was held on the territory of Poland, it was in Sucha near Krakow where Billy Wilder was born, and it was here where the first film school started operating and it was here where the first film festival in Poland was established. And our people also built Hollywood!
The 59th Krakow Film Festival will take place on May 31 – June 7, 2020
