IndieLisboa, organised since 2004, is one of the most important international film festivals in Portugal. Its goal is to draw attention to and shed light on Portugese and foreign films which are not likely to enter the mainstream circuit in Portugal and thus, won’t be shown in most movie theatres.
The Polish films which will be shown in this year’s edition of the festival are:
-
Pussy, directed by Renata Gąsiorowska – International Competition/short film
-
Impossible Figures and Other Stories II, directed by Marta Pajek – International Competition/short film
-
Close Ties, directed by Zofia Kowalewska – International Competition/short film
-
Beside Oneself, directed by Karolina Specht – International Competition/short film
-
Zdarzenia plastyczne (editor’s translation: Artistic Happenings), directed by Tymon Albrzykowski – International Competition/short film
-
On the Silver Globe, directed by Andrzej Żuławski – Director’s Cut Section
-
Dog and a Little Bird – Winter Tournament, directed by Maciej Pestka – IndieJunior Section
-
Hug Me. Operation Weekend, directed by Mateusz Jarmulski – IndieJunior Section
Apart from film screenings, participants of IndieLisboa will have the opportunity to meet some of the Polish directors: Karolina Specht (Beside Oneself), Zofia Kowalewska (Close Ties) and Marta Pajek (Impossible Figures and Other Stories II).
