A Polish documentary film has received a special jury award at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States, one of the world’s top events focusing on independent cinema.
Film still from Skibińska's "Object"
Entitled ‘Object’, the film is a creative image of an underwater search in the dimensions of two worlds — ice desert and under water — told from the point of view of the rescue team, of the diver, and of the ordinary people waiting on the shore.
The film is the work of director Paulina Skibińska, a Ph.D. student at the prestigious Film School in Łódź, and cinematographer Jakub Stolecki, a student of the school. The citation of the jury speaks of the film’s ‘visual poetry’.
The Polish entry was one of 60 shorts competing for the awards, selected from over 8,000 submissions.
The Sundance Film Festival was founded in 1978 by the actor Robert Redford. (mk/jb)
