Polish Films Awarded at Premiers Plans in Angers
Tomasz Wolski’s Daughter was awarded twice, while Julia Kowalski’s debut film Crache-Coeur also received a prize during the 2016 edition of the Premiers Plans Festival in Angers.
Tomasz Wolski’s debut feature was honoured in Angers with awards from both the grand jury and the audience.
Daughter tells the story of Irena (Teresa Budzisz-Krzyżanowska) and Marta (Katarzyna Krzanowska), a mother and daughter who haven’t been in contact for years. One day, Marta’s daughter runs away from home. To find her, Irena and Marta embark on nightly search expeditions, which become an opportunity to work through the past tensions between them.
Daughter is the short feature debut of Tomasz Wolski, who so far has created documentaries such as Pałac (Palace), Lekarze (Doctors) and Złota Rybka (Goldfish). In 2015, Daughter won an award in the short film competition during Gdynia Film Festival.
Premiers Plans also awarded the Polish-French co-production Crache-Coeur (Raging Rose), directed by Julia Kowalski. It is the story of Józef (Andrzej Chyra), who comes to France to sort out his past. He stays at the house of a Polish immigrant and his teenage daughter, Rose. The stranger awakens feelings in the young girl. Her fascination turns into subtle friendship that requires a favour: Józef is looking for the son he abandoned, Rose’s schoolmate. Mediating between father and son, the girl suddenly discovers what love is.Film Julii Kowalski otrzymał w Angers nagrodę dla najlepszego studenckiego debiutu zrealizowanego we Francji.
Premiers Plans Festival has been held in Angers since 1989. Its 28th edition took place between 22nd and 31st January 2016.
