ARE YOU THERE?
Ed used to be a cult figure of Cracow’s club scene. When he lost his sight, his world plunged into darkness brightened up only by the LED light of an AI voice assistant with which Ed converses a great deal. AI keeps him company all the time – it helps, gives advice, and comments on the most dramatic moments in his life. Out of their exchanges emerge disquieting visions of the future where man and machine interact.

THE LONGEST DREAM LASTS 45 MINUTES
An experimental documentary exploring our subconscious. A dream experience that is often set in a hermetic landscape evoking feelings of emptiness and confusion. Sometimes oscillating between whether the world of animals and humans died or was never born. What are we if we don’t remember? When we don’t remember anything after waking up?
CZE, Říká se, že nejdelší sen trvá 45 minut, 2024, 14:23, dir. T Juliana Moska, Zdeňka Petrová, prod. Tomáš Šimon (FAMU)
DON’T CALL ME KASIA
The main character, Kaśka, struggles with life on many levels – illness, raising her son, and financial situation. The most difficult, however, is her relationship with her father, which casts a long shadow over all aspects of her life.
