We are thrilled to announce that Take me to her and Burnout have been selected for the official lineup of the Busan International Short Film Festival (BISFF)! Out of hundreds of submissions, two films directed by our students made it into the 40 selected productions—an incredible achievement we are extremely proud of!

📅 The festival will take place from April 24-29, 2025.

🔹 Burnout | Directed by Marta Z. Nowak | Cinematography: Jakub Stoszek | Production management: Gabriela Fita, Tomasz Widera, Wiktoria Goczoł

📖 A young woman begins experiencing unsettling visions at work. As her newfound ability spirals out of control, she struggles to regain control over her life in an equally disturbing way.

🔹 Take me to her| Directed by Bartłomiej Błaszczyński | Cinematography: Fryderyk Potoczek | Production management: Alicja Osiej, Dorota Damec, Monika Borówka

📖 Basia hides her sorrow. During an audition for drama school, she looks after another candidate’s child. A single impulse changes everything—forcing her to confront her past and take the first step toward healing.

A big congratulations as well to Ave Eva, directed by our student Agnieszka Nowosielska, which has also been selected! 👏

Congratulations to all the filmmakers, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed for success at the festival!
