"My Country, So Beautiful", dir. Grzegorz Paprzycki wins the short film competition "In the Heart of Europe" at the Febiofest International Film Festival in Bratislava. Febiofest is considered the largest film festival in Slovakia.

The award was granted by a jury composed of: Katharina Stumm, Peter Cerovšek and Fernando Vasquez.

As we read in the explanatory memorandum, the award for the film "My Country, So Beautiful" was awarded "for its remarkable ability to reflect an important topic which, despite its local, Polish character, has universal significance in our times. Grzegorz Paprzycki's talent to create a strong, short documentary, which in fact covers a large area of today's society, lost in a world turned upside down, never losing objectivity and intentions. We believe that this film can become a unique document allowing us to understand the world we live in. It is the work of a filmmaker in the best sense of the word."

The producer of the film "My Country, So Beautiful" is Krystyna Doktorowicz (Kieślowski Film School of the University of Silesia in Katowice). The film was made under the artistic supervision of Beata Dzianowicz and Andrzej Fidyk.
