EVENT ONLINE, (where is that?)
Blok tematyczny: The Boundaries of Cinema

“Crossing the Bondaries” is very special this year, since year 2020 brought us all completely unexpected challenges. Not only did the Coronavirus pandemic cause a change in the lifestyle and functioning of whole communities, it also greatly influenced the creative sphere, including that of film. Starting Spring, a great number of audiovisual productions have been created in very special conditions. The phenomenon had such a great scale that it also reached the platforms of film giants, a great example of which can be the “Homemade” Netflix miniseries or Polish “W domu” made for HBO Polska. We will take a closer look at a few film novellas and together we will discuss what boundaries the creators and we, the viewers, are crossing this time: the boundaries of curiosity, the boundaries of knowledge and experience, the boundaries of safety?
