“NORMAL PEOPLE” PROVES THE BEST AT FLICKS
On 10th March the third edition of student Flicks Film Festival organized by the students from Dutch Groningen reached its end. Short fiction by Piotr Złotorowicz was announced the best among all the films presented in this year’s selection.
Flicks Film Festival organized by the student cultural centre Usva in cooperation with ESN Groningen, for the last three years has been presenting the programme of the most interesting films made by the film students from all over the world. This year two films were selected for the screening at Groningen – “Barbican”by Bartłomiej Żmuda and above mentioned “Normal people” by Piotr Złotorowicz. The last festival’s day brought Polish directors a double success – “Normal people” were announced the best film of the festival while “Barbican” received audience award. Both directors are students of Polish National Film School in Łódź.“Normal people” is a story of Daniel, who has just been released from prison and who is now trying to live a new life. It is not easy – he must take care of his alcoholic mother and find a job. Maybe he can find some happiness in a new relationship with a medical rescuer he has just met? Normal People are people with their secrets and weaknesses but also with dreams about a better ‘normality.’ Will they manage to realize their dreams?
The film by Złotorowicz – the authour of awarded „Charcoal burners” - since last year has been screened at more than 20 festivals in Poland and abroad.
