Students of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School are participating in the 79th Cannes Film Festival and actively taking part in the accompanying industry events of Rendez-vous Industry.

During their stay, the students have the opportunity to attend numerous meetings, pitching sessions, and events dedicated to short films, while building valuable international connections.

Our documentary short Little Green Plots has been selected for the Short Film Corner program, held as part of the industry market.

During a scorching summer at 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 things that come into being only to quietly fade away.

Additionally, our faculty is also represented on site by the following students: Marcin Costilla-Kamiński, Aleksander Pakulski, Paulina Michta, and Michał Sikorski.

The trip of Filip Szela and Karolina Olszowiec was funded by the Polish Film Institute as part of its international scholarship program.
