The BNP Paribas Dwa Brzegi film festival in Kazimierz Dolny has ended. During the event, film screenings and meetings with filmmakers took place. Ewelina Witenberg talked to the winners of the 18th edition of the festival, awarded for the film “Moje stare” – actresses Dorota Stalińska and Dorota Pomykała.
– For me, it is the greatest joy that wherever the film appears, it arouses such emotions, regardless of the age of the audience, whether young or old. People wipe their tears, their throats are tight, so this distinction is very important to us – said actress Dorota Stalińska in an interview with a TVN24 journalist.
– This is our second attempt together, and since third time's a charm, we're counting on more – announced Dorota Pomykała. Both actresses received an award in Gdynia last year.
– You know what's cool about this? These roles can't be separated – added Stalińska.
Two Shores Festival
The 18th edition of the BNP Paribas Dwa Brzegi Film and Art Festival began on July 27 in Kazimierz Dolny (Lubelskie). The event lasted eight days. Its program included film screenings, but also meetings with creators, concerts and exhibitions.
The opening film was the Palme d'Or nominated for the Cannes Film Festival, “Wild Diamond”, directed by Agathe Riedinger. The last day of the festival saw the Polish premiere of the film adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' novel “The Count of Monte Cristo”.
The festival also hosted many artists, directors, and actors. Daniel Olbrychski, Krzysztof Globisz, Andrzej Seweryn, Małgorzata Szumowska, and Maja Ostaszewska came to Kazimierz Dolny. Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak was this year's heroine of the series “And God Created an Actress.” In addition to meeting the artist, her acting achievements were recalled as part of a retrospective.
The closing gala took place on Saturday, hosted by Grażyna Torbicka.
TVN was the media patron of the festival.
