The period film The Butler by Filip Bajon, which won two Eagles (the Polish film industry’s annual national awards) this spring, scooped the Silver Lions at the Gdynia Film Festival, and portrays the intertwined destinies of a Polish family between 1900 and 1945 in the north of the Kashubia region, will tomorrow open the 12th edition of Kinopolska, out of competition and in the presence of its director.

Pawel Pawlikowski’s well-received drama unanimously selected for Foreign Language Oscar.
Paweł Pawlikowski’s drama Ida has been unanimously selected as Poland’s candidate for the Best Foreign Language Academy Award.
Committee members included Filip Bajon (chairman), Katarzyna Adamik, Jacek Bławut, Michał Komar, Agnieszka Odorowicz, Anda Rottenberg, Janusz Zaorski, and Marek Żydowicz.
“We had no doubt that Paweł Pawlikowski’s Ida is the film that has the biggest chance in this very competitive category,” said Odorowicz, general director of the Polish Film Institute.
The well-received drama about a young nun in 1960s Poland who discovers a dark secret in her family’s past has already won awards at festivals across Europe and taken more than $3.5m for Music Box Films in the Us.
Pawlikowski’s film is widely considered to be a live contender for the award even at this early stage.
