Rendez Vous

An encounter between two people can feature unpredictable dynamics and unique scenarios – so it is worth examining them and maybe even taking advantage of some ideas. In this section we juxtapose the aesthetics of bug, large budget productions from artistic and independent labels (Four Chambers and Erika Lust) with strategies of independent artists who often create their projects for entirely different reasons. We will see both sex-worker couples (“Deep Dark”, Baccanti) and artistic collectives (“Distanced”, Alexander Janson). And it is with great joy that we can present here the premiere of the first Polish film made for the renowned Erika Lust label – “Summer with Maria” (Joanna Ślesicka). For this reason alone, this section should be included in your festival ‘must see list.’
