"Kites"
Director Beata Dzianowicz and producer Krzysztof Kopczyński have received the Critic’s Week Award (Le Prix SRG SSR idee Suisse/Semaine de la Critique) for the film "Kites" at the 61st Locarno International Film Festival which ended on the 16th of August 2008. It is the main prize awarded in the international competition of full-length documentaries of the festival "Critic’s Week" organized by Switzerland’s national association of film journalists and the most important award this year for a documentary film at the festival. "Kites" have been watched at two screenings by at least 800 people. A large part of them took part in a discussion with the director and the producer of the film.
n the verdict the jury stated: " Beata Dzianowicz has made a film that shows with sensibility, respect and subtlety the relationship between teachers and students, between young men and young women and between the young film students and their society. We also like the way it shows the development of creativity without being heavy handed or obvious."
