"Victim of the Moon" was included in this year's line-up of the Film and Art School Etudes Panorama at the 2023 EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival.

The event will start on November 11, 2022. The short film will be screened at Toruń's Cinema City Poland (room no. 12) in Part II starting at 10:15 am. More details are available at the following link: https://camerimage.pl/en/energacamerimage-2023/harmonogram/).

Directed by Piotr Szubra, the short film is inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov's acclaimed novel, The Master and Margarita. It centers on a poet named Ivan the Homeless and his struggle with dreams that haunt him at the time of the full moon. These dreams are permeated with the work of the writer he met years ago.

Produced by Kieślowski Film School, the cinematography is handled by Jakub Kaźmierczak. Karolina Pawlik, Adam Kiełbasa, and Maciej Fabiańczyk managed the production.

Film and Art School Etudes Panorama is a non-competitive section at the EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival. It showcases student short films exhibiting distinctive artistic and visual qualities submitted in a given year.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the team. For more stills from the film, please visit our Facebook and Instagram pages.

On October 28, during the photography gala of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie (DGPh) e.V., Dr. Rafał Milach, lecturer at Kieślowski Film School, was honored with the prestigious Dr. Erich Salomon Award.

This distinction, which was meant to recognize photojournalism since 1971, was initially given to only institutions, magazines, or organizations. It wasn't until 1983 that this award went to an individual.

The German organization has recognized Milach for his distinctive style of combining activism and art through documentary photography and promotional activities. His area of focus is migration and the transformation of society, and his work is expressed through a gamut of media, from photography to concept art to curating.

This is the first time that a Polish individual has won this award, which further enhances Milach's achievement. The link below provides details of all the previous laureates.
