Noomi Rapace and Andrzej Konopka Star in the First Trailer for Agnieszka Smoczyńska’s Hot Spot

According to „Variety”, acclaimed Polish director Agnieszka Holland is set to direct her next feature, „Berlinweh – Yearning for a Home”, a biographical film about Marlene Dietrich.

Awarded Best Director at the 79th Cannes International Film Festival, “Fatherland” arrived in Polish cinemas on Friday.

Following the international success of Colors of Evil: Red, Adrian Panek returns to the world created by Małgorzata Oliwia Sobczak. Colors of Evil: Black, the latest Netflix production directed by a member of the Polish Directors Guild, confirms that Polish genre cinema is establishing an increasingly confident presence in the global streaming landscape.

The 45th edition of the Koszalin Young and Film Debut Film Festival marked a significant moment for filmmakers associated with the Polish Directors Guild, with two of its members among the standout winners of the Full-Length Feature Debuts Competition: Emi Buchwald and Kordian Kądziela.

Paweł Pawlikowski has received the Best Director award at the 79th Cannes Film Festival for Fatherland . It marks the second such distinction of his career — he previously won the same award for Cold War, which later went on to receive three Academy Award nominations: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, and Best Cinematography.

Paweł Pawlikowski, long established as a leading voice in European auteur cinema, returns to Cannes in what is already shaping up to be a particularly strong edition of the festival. His „Fatherland” will compete for the Palme d’Or in a lineup widely described by observers as the most impressive on the Croisette in years.

Since Friday, the complete first season of “Women’s Hell,” a six-part series directed by Anna Maliszewska, has been available to stream on HBO Max, transporting viewers to 1930s Warsaw.
