POLISH PROJECTS AT DOCU TALENTS FROM THE EAST
Docu Talents from the East is a programme thanks to which film-makers working on documentary film projects will be able to show them during the festival in Karlovy Vary. This year, two Polish projects and one Polish co-production will participate in Docu Talents.
The directors and producers of the twelve feature-length documentary film projects, selected to participate in the programme Docu Talents from the East, will have an opportunity to show their projects to the guests at the Film Festival in Karlovy Vary. The presentations will be held within the frames of the festival's Industry section, and each of them will last 8 minutes.
From among all submitted projects, the Polish film "Diagnosis," directed by Ewa Podgórska, is invited to this year's edition. The production documents the visit of the world's first psychoanalyst of the cities in Poland. The residents, who find their way to the psychoanalyst's coach, talk about their yearnings and desires.
The second Polish project, which is included in the programme Docu Talents from the East, is "Opera o Polsce" by Piotr Stasik. It is a cross-media production, which will combine the elements of opera with the documentary film. The director wants to tell the story about the contemporary Poland and its inhabitants.
At Docu Talents from the East, there appears also the Czech-Slovakian-Polish co-production "Pepik The Czech Goes To Poland In A Quest For Love Of God," directed by Vít Klusák and Filip Remunda. The project tries to examine the differences between the atheistic Czech Republic and the Catholic Poland.
The programme Docu Talents from the East has been organised since 2005 jointly by Jihlava Documentary Film Festival and the International Film Festival Karlovy Vary. The aim of the meeting is to attract the attention of professionals from the international film industry, visiting the festival in Karlovy Vary, which is classified as an A class festival.
