Drama. Poland, UK 2016, 100 min. Directed by Michal Marczak. Starring: Krzysztof Baginski, Michal Huszcza, Eva Lebuef. In Polish with Russian subtitles. A new era is coming, and Warsaw stands uncomfortably at its edge. Art school classmates Christopher and Michal, on the precipice of their own coming of age, restlessly roam their city's streets in search of living forever inside the beautiful moment. Never content with answers, they push each experience to its breaking point, testing what it might mean to be truly awake in a world that seems satisfied to be asleep. The movie has already conquered the critics of the Sundance festival. Michal Marczak paints a picture of Warsaw powered by a new generation bursting with energy, and stakes out its own cinematic terrain. For that the director was already named the new Terrence Malick.

09:15 | Sam Klemke's Time Machine |
|
|
|
|
Documentary. USA, Australia 2015, 90 min. Directed by Matthew Bate, Starring: Sam Klemke. In English with Russian subtitles. In 1977, Sam Klemke started obsessively documenting his entire life on film. Beginning decades before the modern obsession with selfies and status updates, we see Sam grow from an optimistic teen to a self-important 20-year-old, into an obese, self-loathing thirty-something and onwards into his philosophical fifties. The same year that Sam began his project, NASA launched the Voyager craft into deep space carrying the Golden Record, a portrait of humanity that would try to explain to extra terrestrials who we are. From director Matthew Bate (Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure), Sam Klemke's Time Machine follows two unique self-portraits as they travel in parallel — one hurtling through the infinity of space and the other stuck in the suburbs of Earth — in a freewheeling look at time, memory, mortality and what it means to be human.
