A place of encounter for professionals (directors, producers, distributors, buyers and festival programmers), the Short Film Corner hosts workshops, round tables and other forms of exchange aimed at developing worthwhile contacts. The line-up includes mainly unreleased films from across the world, as well as all the shorts selected in competition, in the Cinéfondation programme, Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week.
This sixth edition of the short film market will screen eight Polish titles, including five made as part of the 30 Minutes - Andrzej Munk Studio Młodzi i Film programme (created by the Association of Polish Filmmakers), and three from the Łódź National Film, Television and Theatre School.
The Polish Shorts line-up prepared by the Polish Film Institute and Krakowska Fundacja Filmowa (organisation specialised in the international promotion of narrative shorts, documentaries and animated films) includes the following works produced as part of the 30 Minutes programme: Barbara Białowąs’ My New Life, Michał Wnuk’s What the Doctors Say, Przemysław Nowakowski’s On Credit, Krzysztof Bizio’s Anna’s Little Lies and Borys Lankosz’s Alien VI.
The titles from Łódź Film School are Jarosław Sztandera’s Luxury, Magnus von Horn’s Echo and Bartek Cierlica’s Grobari. All the films selected for the Short Film Corner will be presented from May 13-22.
