The 7th Paradiso Film Fest reads:

* BEST DIRECTION OF A STUDENT FILM: KLAUDIA FORTUNIAK for the film DREAM UP THE TITLE

Jury statement: "A vision capable of transporting the audience into a world that is chaotic and fascinating, ironic and fragile. The short film demonstrates remarkable directorial maturity in its work with the actors and in the way it intertwines reality and dream: one world in colour and another in black and white, eventually blending into a single image, as though time were briefly suspended and the two universes had finally found a synthesis".

* BEST COSTUMES: Aleksandra Nowakowska, Karolina Pyszko and Zosia Pohl for DREAM UP THE TITLE

Jury statement: "Dream and reality constantly brush against one another. Just as the protagonist changes her life because of what she dreams, her costume portrays her as though she had never truly woken up, creating a radiant image that enhances her dazed performance. A costume that does not merely decorate, but defines the atmosphere of a film that proves to be surreal and wonderfully mad".

Congratulations!


Paradiso Film Fest runs at Palazzo Adriano in Sicily – a charming mountain village which was the film set for Giuseppe Tornatore’s legendary, Oscar-winning masterpiece CINEMA PARADISO.

Film synopsis: The parched city of Łódź is left without rivers, and Małgorzata embarks on a journey to find them. She’s late for the journey, misreading the time in her sleep. She finds the rivers, but not the dream.
