Every year in September (actually, from the next year on it will be May), there is a film festival taking place in Gdynia, a city nearby my hometown. This festival focuses on recent Polish cinema and I used to go there and watch selected movies, trying to find extraordinary ones, those worth remembering because of their form, their story or their message.
For the last two or three years I couldn't be there and see any movies, but I am always looking for information about the winners... And today I was reading the article by one of my favorite movie critics about this year's festival. How happy I was finding out that the overall level of the movies presented was quite high... I cannot say: very high, we are still far from that, but comparing to other years, it is sooo much better :)
And now there are, again, several new Polish movies I really have to see, and I have no idea how to do it... I used to (if I haven't seen them during festival) spot them later in the local cinemas, but now... This will be more difficult. Probably I will have to wait until they show up on DVDs or on television. The thing is, most of these movies, if they don't find a company who wants to buy some copies and distribute them in cinemas, will probably never be "famous" enough to reach a random television or DVD-watcher, or a big cinema fan, who lives far away...
