Festival Director Michal Oleszczyk tells our reporter Michal Kubicki that this is a competition "for a time of crisis".

“There are no films that are completely optimistic or care-free; most, even the comedies, have a pessimistic outlook on the world,” he says in this audio report.

Taking a broader look at present-day Polish cinema, Oleszczyk says that it’s in quite a good shape, adding that Paweł Pawlikowski’s ‘Ida’, which has proved an enormous popular success in many countries, stands a good chance to win an Academy Award in the best foreign language film category.
