This year, the festival Etiuda&Anima was held in Krakow for the twenty-sixth time. The event, dedicated to student films, turned out to be extremely successful for Polish film-makers: from among six films qualified for the short film competition, as many as three won awards.
Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz received the honourable mention for the best music in the film “Bitten” by Helena Oborska. The jury justified their choice in the following way: “for building the climate and atmosphere that further emphasize the subject of the film.” The film by Oborska tells the story of Zofia who, together with her friend, goes to the seaside to a special resort. In the enclave, a mysterious man appears with his wife. Zofia knows his face.
The second honourable mention for a Polish film was the best costume design award for Marzena Wojciechowska in the film “Fascinatrix.” In the justification of the honourable mention for the film by the Justyna Mytnik, the audience could hear that the exceptionally unique costumes transported the jury into the world of the narrated story. “Fascinatrix” is a musical about a vengeful fugitive who disguises herself as a witch hunter and comes to the Castle of the Inquisition…
