Introduction by Dominik Ritszel

A paraphrase from the 1982 film Blade Runner sets the tone for this year's experimental short film section, in which we encourage you to broaden your horizons and open yourself up to the unimaginable. Three film stories will form the core of this experience. Each of them is a personal exploration leading to ambiguous conclusions. Rosińska, Szpaczyński, and Banasińska, whose works we will see, immerse themselves in what is distant, inaccessible, and internal. Their films delve into layers  of earth, clay, and mud, as well as memories, fantasies, and legends. They fall into traps, lose their tracks, wander in the dark, and finally make a spectacular discovery.
