We are pleased to announce that RODOS, directed by our student Filip Szela, has been selected for the Short Film Corner | Rendez-vous Industry, held as part of the industry section of the 79th Festival de Cannes!

This prestigious programme is dedicated to short film creators and aims to support emerging talents while fostering connections within the international film industry.

During a hot summer in allotment gardens, time flows at its own pace. Observing everyday rituals becomes the backdrop for subtle and fleeting micro-stories of the gardeners. The film forms a mosaic that tells a story about what is born, only to quietly pass away.

RODOS directed by: Filip Szela | cinematography: Filip Fiszer | production manager: Karolina Olszowiec | produced by: Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School, University of Silesia in Katowice | 2026

The 79th Festival de Cannes will take place from May 12–23, 2026.

Congratulations to all the creators!
