Camerimage Festival kicks off on Saturday
The International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography begins in Toruń (15–22 November). The opening film is Anemone starring Daniel Day-Lewis. The main competition also features, among others, Poland’s Oscar candidate Franz Kafka by Agnieszka Holland, Nuremberg with Russell Crowe, and our domestic blockbuster Chopin, Chopin! In the Special Screenings section you will find, among others, Jim Jarmusch’s latest film Father Mother Sister Brother, awarded in Venice. As usual, the main partner and co-host of the event is the self-government of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region. The Marshal’s Film Award will be presented to Grażyna Szapołowska, one of the biggest stars of contemporary Polish cinema.
“I’m one of those film lovers who always eagerly await the next edition of the festival. I would like to thank the organizers, the Tumult Foundation, not only for efficiently running this important event, but also for being our guide in the world of cinema,” says Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
An important part of this year’s Camerimage is the section “Film Kujawy and Pomorze”. Its program refers to the Year of Scientists from Kujawy and Pomorze, which is currently being celebrated. We invite you to screenings of documentaries such as Jan Czochralski: The Forefather of Electronics, The Chemist’s Return, The Gardens of Tadeusz Reichstein, and The Secrets of Enigma.
This section also features fiction films made with the support of our Kojawsko-Pomorski Film Fund: Intersection by Dominika Montean-Pańków with an outstanding performance by Jan Englert; Seasons, directed by Michał Grzybowski and filmed in Toruń, starring Agnieszka Dulęba-Kasza; and (as a pre-premiere) the romantic comedy Gingerbread Heart by Piotr Wereśniak, set in the festive scenery of Toruń’s Old Town.
