Sekcja: Konkurs Filmów Fabularnych

Cinema from Central and Eastern Europe at its best. It's about high politics and identity formation, growing up and rebellion, war and peace, migration and homeland – the ten films from a total of 16 production and co-production countries competing for the coveted Lubinas this year show what moves Eastern Europe and, therefore, us too. Formally diverse, the programme offers magical realism and everyday chronicles, epic cinema and contemplation, social drama and absurd comedy, arthouse and Bollywood echoes.
