Our "Singing Napkin", a diploma film of acting students directed by Mariusz Grzegorzek, continues its festival tour. Leaving Wrocław behind it’s heading towards Poznań. The screening already on 11 Aug

It’s going to be the second festival screening of the film. After an enthusiastic reception at the T-Mobile New Horizons Festival the film "Singing Napkin" will be screened at the Transatlantic Festival in Poznan on Tuesday 11th August at 7.30 p.m at Multikino.

"Singing Napkin" produced by the Lodz Film School consists of four short film stories representing various style forms, among them: a black & white story about young people who being stuck in the inertia of everyday urban existence feel lost and deprived of the sense and joy of life; a neurotic journey through emotional and physical emaciation caused by escape into drugs; a refined although rooted in pop culture poetic adaptation of a Greek tale. All stories, however, share hope for awakening and faith in love which enables surviving all life drastic aspects. The film stories connected by audition documentary fragments lead to a surrealistic frenetic finale.

What is the Napkin singing about?

ABOUT DREAMS COMING TRUE – The fourth year acting students from the Lodz Film School under the artistic supervision of Mariusz Grzegorzek made the first ever full-length diploma film.
ABOUT COURAGE- They were not scared of limitations, they told stories straight from their hearts; stories which try to be authentic and wise and at the same time are crazy and not so wise.
ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS, IN ORDER TO REACH INSIDE ONESELF, IN ORDER TO GET TO YOU.

„..She rinsed the blood from the gold goblet and filled it with rose water. She dipped the singing tablecloth in it and the cloth whispered: COME! COME! COME! The sound of stretching wings could be heard…”
