During the 27th International Short Film Festival in São Paulo (Brazil) starting on 24 August the international premiere of the film Disorder, produced by the Faculty of Radio and Television, will take place. The film was produced by the students of WRiTV Julian Tałandziewicz (script, direction and editing) and Maciej Kwasniewski (cinematography).

Disorder is a story told without any words of a librarian who snatches of life lethargy after a seemingly trivial event and awakens the hitherto dormant desires. The film was previously presented at the Lubuskie Film Summer in Łagów where it received the Silver Grape in the Short Feature Film Competition

Festival in São Paulo will last until September 4. For more information see the official website.
