2 animated shorts: GUILT by our student Marcjanna Urbanska and LAST SUPPER by our lecturer Piotr Dumała have been selected for International Competition Short of the 62nd DOK Leipzig.

DOK Leipzig’s programme consists of the films in the Official Selection (which are selected from submissions), a series of curated Special Programmes, the interactive exhibition DOK Neuland, the DOK Industry activities for film professionals and further events and debates. The festival’s 62nd edition will take place between 28 October and 3 November 2019. We will announce the themes and films of this year’s Special Programmes in September, while the Official Selection films will be revealed on 10 October.

GUILT
A story about the difficult relationship of a mother and daughter. A childhood full of love is confronted with a parent's depression. Although on a daily basis she is a loving mother, alcohol turns her into a wolf. During her transformation, she becomes unpredictable, losing her humanity. Full of metaphors and sensitivity, the story leads us through the child’s difficult experiences. Scene by scene it shows how an intimate bond is built only to be shattered, hurting everyone. The titular guilt hovers above: who is responsible, who takes the guilt over, can it help anyone? Guilt is about the attempt to take on an intolerable burden, and is a sensitive, raw depiction of the fragility of family life. It is a bittersweet story of two lost women who try to win against the demons of everyday existence.
