BNP Paribas Dwa Brzegi — 18th Film and Art Festival will take place on July 27 – August 4, 2024 in Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec nad Wisłą.
Since the beginning of the Film and Art Festival Two Shores, critics have drawn attention to its unconventional approach to film art. The idea of the event is to connect the creator with the recipient, as well as film, literature, music and visual arts, i.e. all the fields from which the Tenth Muse draws. It is an artistic project that turns away from mass cinema, is addressed to connoisseurs and lovers of cinema and other arts. The strength of the Festival is the possibility of daily meetings with renowned artists and debutants.
The idea of the Festival is to expand the Polish film offer. Thanks to cooperation with other festivals supported by several years of experience, films awarded in Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Karlovy Vary, San Sebastian, Rotterdam are shown. The Festival also presents productions that will not be included in the repertoire of Polish cinemas. In cooperation with film schools from Poland and abroad, a short film competition is held, the aim of which is to create a debut stage for young creators and directors.
The 8th edition of the BNP Paribas Dwa Brzegi – Film and Art Festival will take place from July 27 to August 4 in Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec nad Wisłą. The 18th anniversary is a must. There will be special screenings, adult cinema, concerts and surprises!
The World Under the Tent series, presenting the latest productions, will feature films that had their world premieres at festivals in Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Sundance, and now it's time for the audience of BNP Paribas Dwie Brzegi to see them and give their verdict, awarding the Audience Award, which is so important for every creator. We will soon present the hottest titles in this section.
The heroine of the acting retrospective And God Created an Actress will be the winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes for her role in the film "Inne patrz" directed by Karola Makka, Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak, who will talk about her film and theatre work during meetings with the audience.
There are few filmmakers who are able to build their cinema, their artistic, original language as consistently as director and screenwriter Dorota Kędzierzawska. Her films have been awarded in Gdynia ("Nothing" 1998, "I am" 2005, "Time to die" 2007), Cannes ("Crows" 1994), Berlin ("I am" 2005, "Jutro być lepsze" 2010). She works wonderfully with children, preserving their sincerity, naturalness without interfering with their delicate psyche. How is it done? The author will talk in person at the 18th BNP Paribas Dwa Brzegi.
This year's foreign retrospective is the films of Joseph Losey. Forced to leave the United States in the McCarthy era, he developed his work in Europe. As an emigrant, he often showed outsiders in his films, stigmatizing hypocrisy and psychological violence. Films such as: "The Servant", "The Accident", "The Messenger" (Grand Prix in Cannes) have an extraordinary, Kafkaesque atmosphere. Losey's retrospective will be opened by a special guest, the outstanding actor Daniel Olbrychski, who played the main role in the film "The Trout" alongside Isabelle Huppert.
The topic of artistic emigration will also appear in a special series devoted to an extraordinary, perverse artist. He loved grotesque, absurdity, and played with form: Witold Gombrowicz. The year 2024 is dedicated to the creator of "mug", "bum", "calf" on the 120th anniversary of his birth. Films about Gombrowicz, based on Gombrowicz, guests from Poland and the world, for whom the author of "Pornography" is a constant inspiration.
