Argentinean Lesson won the main prize at the Krakow Film Festival (www.kff.com.pl) of documentary, short, and animated films.

The film is one of 12 selected to compete in theInternational Documentary Film Competition taking place in Leipzig 17-23 October 2011, along with films from Finland, Canada, China, Germany, France, Mexico, Switzerland, Israel and the Netherlands. Following DOK Leipzig, Argentinean Lesson will compete in theFestival dei Popoli in Florence, whose 52nd edition starts on 12 November.

Argentinean Lesson is notable for its visual aesthetics, its rhythm and composition, which parallels a narration of a fiction film, while it shows the process of a slow integration of a 8-year-old boy into a completely strange cultural environment. The main character is the director's son who comes to Argentina from Poland with his mother, a teacher of Polish, and befriends a Argentinean girl. This friendship brings a new set of problems to his world.
