The 33rd Man in Danger Media Festival is going to feature many amazing documentaries. We're proud to announce that one of them is going to be Marta Z. Nowak's "Claw." The documentary short will, in fact, have its world premiere during this year's edition. Estera Świętosławska handled the cinematography, whereas Dorota Chłapek managed the production. The film is produced by Kieślowski Film School.

Nowak's previous film, "Afonia," has earned many accolades. "Claw" centers on Mr. Lukasz, a puppeteer who is living in a sleepy village and working on a unique project. However, things take a turn when he decides to provide shelter for refugees from eastern Ukraine. Luke's project helps the family take their minds off the harrowing realities of war. He in turn gains companions who can support him throughout the path toward the achievement of his goal.

The festival will be held from October 16, 2023, to October 22, 2023, at the Museum of Cinematography, Łódź. It is also possible to access the festival online from the Think Film VOD platform from October 16 to October 19, 2023.

Today marks one week since the conclusion of the 18th edition of filmPOLSKA, the biggest celebration of Polish cinema outside the country. The festival is an annual event held in different studio cinemas in Berlin, and Kieślowski Film School played an integral role in it.

The film festival is organized by the Polish Institute in Berlin. "Bread and Salt," directed by Damian Kocur, won this year's edition.

As always, this year's event lived up to expectations. We're proud to announce that it featured several films directed by our graduates: "The Silent Twins" and "The Lure" by Agnieszka Smoczynska, "The Hamlet Syndrome" by Piotr Rosolowski and Elwira Niewiera, and "In Ukraine" by Piotr Pawlus and Tomasz Wolski. The featured films also included "The Field," a film directed by our student, Tomasz Grzymala, and produced by Kieślowski Film School.

The festival included various discussions, which included opportunities for attendees to get to know directors and their works. Additionally, acting workshops conducted by Dr. Anna Huth, a lecturer at our film school who has also served as the moderator of screenings in many cinemas for consecutive editions, enriched the program. Anna Huth also supervised this year's Sputnik Kino, held in Berlin.

We're eagerly looking forward to next year's festival. We sincerely hope to include more student short films in addition to feature-length films by our graduates.
