The film "Hello Grandma", dir. Kamila Chojnacka has been nominated for the student competition of the Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival IDFA. Our documentary production is among only 11 short films selected from around the world.

"Hello Grandma" is a story about family, closeness and the difficulties of isolation. The action of the film takes place in the spring of 2020. The director of the documentary - Kamila Chojnacka records her immediate surroundings during the lockdown. The protagonists are: her husband, 1.5-year-old son, the director herself, and the grandmother, whom she can only reach by phone. "Hello Grandma" touches the joys, desires and longings that we all experienced when most institutions, schools and universities were closed.

Also a short documentary by our lecturer and graduate, Andrzej Cichocki, entitled "A Little Paradise", was invited to this year's short film competition. This is, in turn, a story about a Silesian family that in a corner of the metropolis reveals their world to the viewer and shares their moments of life, inextricably linked with the surrounding nature.

The Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival IDFA is the largest and one of the most important documentary festivals in the world. This year IDFA will be held in place and online from November 16 to December 6.
