Zbigniew and Henio have a difficult relationship. Zbigniew is more interested in hoarding the items he collects on the black market than playing chess with his father.

Links: Official site, Movie trailer
A nice old lady is living a lonesome life, filled with small rituals and melancholic memories about the better days. Still, there's something strange about her... The power of denial and fear of change keep the old lady trapped in her worst nightmares until suddenly a long-kept secret emerges and the old lady can't escape it anymore.
Paths of Hate
Damian Nenow (Platige Image)
Poland, 2010, 35 mm, 10'
Links: Official site, Movie trailer
Focus on fight. The dimension of fighting is irrelevant, as well as the ideology behind it. It does not matter whether two people or millions of them are involved. What remains are only scars – bloody traces, paths of hate.

A concert is planned in a mountain hotel, but the burly hotel manager shuts the door on the band. So the three musicians go on a spur-of-the moment mountain tour. A summit concert, you might say, on the back of a giant cow, and a helter-skelter tour through Swiss folklore stereotypes which ultimately brings them a degree of satisfaction.

A minimalist artist works in silence and concentration on an endless series of hopeless squares. Luckily, he has a child who draws him into a journey through the child’s own art – where the toy xylophone is a flying piano and squiggles are forests and strange monsters.
