Three short films made by Wajda Studio were selected for the “ZagrebDox” – International Documentary Film Festival in Zagreb. “Paparazzi” by Piotr Bernaś and “Decrescendo” by Marta Minorowicz qualified for the International Competition, and Kuba Maciejko’s film “Bon Appetit” was invited to the Happy Dox section.

International Competition

The 8th edition of “ZagrebDox,” one of the most important documentary film festivals in the region, began yesterday and will last until March 4.

 

The programme is divided into two competition sections: a regional one, with films from Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Kosovo, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia and Serbia, and an international one, which features the two films from Wajda Studio. These are “Paparazzi” by Piotr Bernaś, who was nominated for a European Film Award in 2011, and “Decrescendo” by Marta Minorowicz. The titles will compete for the “Big Stamp” award.
