Ida's Winning Streak Continues at Al Este de Lima
Paweł Pawlikowski’s Ida won at the 5th edition of the Al Este de Lima Festival. This is another in a long line of international awards for the Polish blockbuster.
Al Este De Lima is a film festival presenting the most interesting film productions of the Central and Eastern Europe countries and the Caucasus. Its aim is to familiarize Latin American viewers with cinema which is quite unknown in that region. The intention of the event creators is for the festival to be full of not only contemporary films but also those a little older which have become a part of cinema history. In addition to the main competition, films were shown in several thematic sections, including Gypsy Night, Reversed Polarity - 25 Years Without the Iron Curtain, and Young Authors.
In the main competition, 10 films appeared. Of these, 3 were from Poland: Papusza by Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze, Floating Skyscrapers by Tomasz Wasilewski, and Pawlikowski’s winning Ida.
Ida's win continues its intercontinental winning streak - it had already won, amongst others, the American Society of Cinematographers Award, first prize in the main competition at the 21st Camerimage, Warsaw Grand Prix at the 29th Warsaw Film Festival International Competition and the main trophy at the 57th London Film Festival.

Apart from the competitive section of Al Este de Lima, Polish films appeared in the documentary section: Holy Field, Holy War by Lech Kowalski and Nous Filmons le Peuple! by Anna Szczepańska. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain, viewers had a chance to see Man of Iron and Walesa. Man of hope by Andrzej Wajda. Another attraction of the festival was a presentation of Polish animations - Peruvian audience had the opportunity to attend a retrospective of Jerzy Kucia’s works.
The 5th Al Este De Lima Festival was held from 7th until 17th May, 2014. This year’s screenings took place not only in the capital but also in Arequipa, Lambayeque, Cusco and Pucallpa. Polish films were presented thanks to cooperation between the festival organizers, the Polish Embassy in Lima and the Polish Film Institute.
