The beginnings were modest and slow – firstly few stories about irrationality of life, then more and more – psychiatric hospital, love dying in freedom and growing in trenches, deaf musician, master of ballet, jumble tangle, waking with sleeping. Friendship over and over again. Week after week, month after month, more rapid and more often, and finally total craziness, squall. December full of countless journeys, literal and metaphorical, January packed with questions without answers, extremities. Life and death, happiness and loneliness, to give up or maybe to fight? We’ve got 156 calls for School Films Competition, from 29 countries, whole length of films takes more than 39 hours!

Hours or even minutes with changeability of moods – from childish happiness, by youthful timidity, with a blush of embarrassment at a next door neighbor, by unexpected kindness early in the morning, getting lost in unknown city, fascination of unknown, to a fear of baited animal. Everything jumbled in a washing machine (the highest speed programme!). Prompting; Provoking something, somewhere, at the deep end. Experimental beside educational, comedies beside dramas, animations beside documental. There is everything!

Showered by films, we’d like to thank you once more. We’ll watch carefully, consider, discuss and we’ll bury ourselves in Your worlds. At the crossroad – in Great KANland, with the capital in Wrocław – see you in April!
We wish you to be totally grasped and surprised by the films. Let them stay in you for a long time.
