"Krzyżoki"/ "Horse Riders"
We awarded the film, which according to our opinion, crossed the boundaries of the quality of the films presented in the main competition. Absolute cinema experience in terms of cinematography, script, editing and sound is a short masterpiece built on anticipation and contrast of the sacred and profane. Quelling black horses in order to ride them in the act of absolute reaffirmation of male power and tradition. Alcoholic trip hallowed by the whole society opens peculiar feast under the patronage of wooden sculpture of Christ. |

Born to and living the life in the state of radical indigence, she accomplished the core values of living. Here comes her husband as an archetype of the old wiseman - despite constantly facing her reasonable invectives, he sits next to her while sleeping, waiting for the days to come... |
