Six films were selected for the Spring season of Future Shorts – among them Polish “The Whistle” by Grzegorz Zariczny. Film is one of two documentaries presented in the set. Zariczny’s film is a story of Marcin – a young man that comes from a small village near Krakow. The film pictures him from three perspectives – his private life, his work life and his hobby – which is football. In each of these fields he seems to be quite clumsy. He doesn’t rush his way towards adulthood – which his mother doesn’t approve of. She expects him to make life-changing decisions, finding a better job and a wife. The film was produced as a part of “First documentary” programme launched by Munk Studio operating within the frames of Polish Filmmakers Association.
