‘When I think of Polish cinema, I think of passion, tradition and craft.’ Tamsin Lyons, Producer & Owner at Ink and Light Studio

KINOPOLIS 2013 showcases productions which tackle every-day struggles of contemporary Poles such as self-defining personal identity and sex orientation or fighting with and winning over physical impairements. Poland is undergoing much sociocultural changes at present, and budding filmmakers have utilised this shift to analyse and redefine the make-up of modern Poles in their work, along with adopting the themes of Western liberalism, traditions of religious obedience and unspoken taboos.

This year’s festival opens with ‘Imagine’ by Andrzej Jakimowski, starring Edward Hogg (‘White Lightnin’ (2209), ‘Bunny and the Bull’ (2009)) and Alexandra Maria Lara (‘The Reader’ (2008), ‘Rush’ (2013)) an inspirational love story set in Portugal. Jakimowski beautifully captures the sensual chemistry of two people with visual impairment, in a search of happiness. The film has received Best Director and Audience Award at the Warsaw Film Festival (2012). After the screening the audience will have a chance to see behind the camera, in the company of the director himself during a Q&A session.
