Swedish filmmaker Isabella Eklöf, the director of the film Holiday, is the winner of the Grand Prix of the New Horizons International Competition.
Of the 12 competition entries, seven were directed by women. This year’s edition of New Horizons can also boast record attendance.
The winner of the Audience Award was An Elephant Sitting Still /Da xiang xi di er zuo, directed by Hu Bo, who died tragically last year. An Elephant Sitting Still was his only film. To protect his friend, 16-year-old Wei Bu pushes the school bully down the staircase and escapes the scene after the bully becomes hospitalized with his life hanging by a thread.
Financed by Grażyna Błęcka-Kolska and Jan Jakub Kolski, the Zuzanna Kolska Prize was awarded to the youngest filmmaker at New Horizons for the first time ever this year. Going to Zuzanna Grajcewicz for her film Cut-out, the award is a gesture of...

Exclusive: Poland’s Akson Studio, producer of Andrzej Wajda’s Venice title Walesa. Man Of Hope, is preparing a film set in the world of the Polish mafia.
Speaking exclusively to ScreenDaily, producer Jan Kwiecinski said the feature, titled Totem, will be “a very raw movie in the vein of films like Bullhead or Pusher.”
He added: “It will be made with non-professional actors, very dark, low budget, and totally different from what we are doing at the moment.”
Totem will mark the feature directorial debut of Jakub Charon, who has previously written and directed two short films, Traces and Tension. He is also a member of alternative rock group NarcolipZ and an author of two novels.
Warsaw Uprising shoot underway
Akson is halfway through its 63-day shoot of Jan Komasa’s Warsaw44 about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The $8m production is already being touted as the biggest Polish film of 2014.

Bradford International Film Festival begins the screening of To Kill A Beaver with a dire fifteen minute French Portuguese short that would quite probably cure insomnia. Thankfully, tonight’s main feature is the product of established Polish Writer/Director, Jan Jakub Kolski, and despite a slow start, it runs rings around Four Hours Barefoot.
Hitman, Eric (Eryk Lubos) returns to his hometown to what appears to be his now empty childhood home, only to find it graffiti-covered and evidence of a squatter. Later while he destroys a beaver dam, a teenage girl (Agnieszka Pawelkiewicz) on a makeshift raft floats towards him. Kolski’s first close-up of her is comically presented with two sticks of gum protruding from either side of her mouth like the teeth of the animals Eric inexplicably hunts.
Director/Writer: Jan Jakub Kolski
Country: Poland

The Bradford International Film Festival is typically an underground-friendly fest. This year appears to be no exception with two very special experimental film retrospectives, as well as a few modern underground-type flicks.
The 19th annual Biff will roll on April 11-21 at several locations around Bradford and Leeds in England, including the National Media Museum, Hebden Bridge Picture House, Hyde Park Picture House and other venues.
Biff is hosting a tribute to Stan Brakhage this year by screening the prolific filmmaker’s magnum opus, Dog Star Man, as well as a selection of his short films, from 1963′s legendary Mothlight to 1994′s Black Ice. There’s also going to be an epic-sized tribute/retrospective of experimental films from Austria, a country with a proud avant-garde filmmaking tradition that’s typically overlooked.

I slam three cups of coffee, and go see “Zabric Bobra,” aka “To Kill a Beaver,” an intense Polish film about a rogue operative who’s hiding out in a country farmhouse and hooking up with a local wild child while plotting some kind of complicated revenge. I’m impressed with the strong performance of the lead actor, Eryk Lubos. I’m also quite favorably impressed with a long and convincing sex scene that actually raises a blush on my maidenly cheek (as in, it’s hot). The director, Jan Jakub Kolski, is blurbed as “the master of Polish magical realism.” This one is more realistic than magical. Much later, checking his 14-film filmography online, I realize I saw his “Venice” (more magical than realistic) last year at the Seattle International Film Festival. I’m continually reminded during film festivals of just how much more there is out there than...

International film festivals are flourishing across the country. But are they aimed at native speakers only, or are Brits finally embracing foreign cinema?
On a chilly Sunday evening in March, the lobby and bar of the Riverside Studios in London are heaving. The cheery chap behind the ticket desk, says they're nearly sold out. The audience has come to see Venice, the latest film from the master of Polish magical realism, Jan Jakub Kolski. It tells the story of an 11-year-old boy whose dream of a trip to Venice is wrecked by the outbreak of war in 1939; he is sent to stay with his aunt in her sprawling villa, where the pair build a vision of the city in her flooded basement.
