Kalina Alabrudzińska received the Award named after Stanisław Różewicz for direction of the film "Nic nie ginie" at the Closing Gala of the 38th Koszalin "Youth & Film" Film Debut Festival.

The Award was granted in the Full-Length Feature Debut Film Competition. The Jury consisting of: Joanna Kos-Krauze (President), Grzegorz Damięcki, Radek Ładczuk, Joanna Rożen-Wojciechowska and Krzysztof Rak justified their verdict by saying: ""How was it possible to manage the direction of it all? We do not know… but we welcome a new talent in the Polish cinema."

NIC NIE GINIE also received the Youth Jury Award for the Best Full-length Feature Film. The Jury statement said: "For proving that diligence and good film-making craftsmanship have a chance to win with a high budget - in other words: Life gave them lemons, and they made good wine out of them." 

The film, NIC NIE GINIE is the recent graduation film of our acting students and it continues the tradition of the Lodz Film School where apart from the graduation play, each year the students of the final year of acting make a full-length graduation film. The first one to be made was "Singing Napkin" by Mariusz Grzegorzek, followed by: "Crystal Girl" by Artur Urbański, "Soyer" by Łukasz Barczyk and "Monument" by Jagoda Szelc. NIC NIE GINIE is also a full-length, original film debut of Kalina Alabrudzińska.

Kalina on her film: The film protagonists suffer from my favourite illness - sadness. Life requires changes from them but they do not want to yield to this. They prefer to hide in the thicket of leaves and everyday life. And the world around is beautiful, the sun is shining, so why should not they be reborn as a better and happier species? I hope that my sad film will make you laugh and, like my heroes, you will feel part of a strong and important community - a community of lonely people.
