At the 21st Soria International Film Festival, one of the awards went to Marta Szymańska for the animated film, TANGO OF LONGING.
The organizers of the Soria International Film Festival (Certamen Internacional de Cortos de Soria) believe in the power of short films and it is these types of productions that the entire festival is devoted to. Films up to 30 minutes long are invited to the programme. This year, two Polish films had been accepted for the animated film competition. Apart from the animation by Marta Szymańska which was awarded El Silencio bien cortao, the competition also included the film, "Colaholic" by our graduate, Marcin Podolec.

TANGO OF LONGING
The film is a painting-like tale about the extraordinary nature of tango - a dance that we associate mainly with desire and passion. However, tango is a 'sad thought you dance along to', a constant longing and search for satisfaction and comforting - both subtly and desperately. In the film, the characters - dancers tell us about their longings, desires and relationships with others expressed through the dance. Although what they want seems to be at their fingertips, they are not able to achieve it; it is elusive, absent. The quest for comfort and satisfaction may never end.
Screenplay, direction, animation, editing: Marta Szymańska
Music: Patryk Zakrocki
Sound: Bogdan Klat
Artistic supervision: Piotr Dumała, Piotr Milczarek
