This is a special selection prepared for IndieCork by the Zubroffka jury and curators. We invite you to a film trip around Poland and its cinematography. Watching Polish films, analysing the world, and taking in our happy or melancholic aspects through film, will truly give you an insight into the Polish soul.

We are very excited to welcome our new partner PAF for the first time at the Visegrad Film Festival.

Hotel Sunrise
Maria Rumanova / Slovakia / 2016 / 49 minutes

This compelling, poetic documentary is a debut film, portraying a town on the very edge of the European Union and the collective identity of its residents. Cierna nad Tisou, once known as the “Golden Gate of Socialism”, has now become a run-down smugglers den on the Eastern periphery. The characters in this film find their own ways to navigate the dysfunctional system, often skittering along the edge of the law and common sense, but their stories are all the more enuine, expressive, and human.

Koza
Ivan Ostrochovsky/ Slovakia / 2016 / 75 minutes

Peter “Koza” Balaz is a former Olympic boxer, now forgotten and living in poverty with his pregnant girlfriend Misa. Koza once again steps back into the ring, literally risking his life in the hope to earn some much-needed cash and change Misa’s mind about their future.
This docu-fiction hybrid infused with dark humour, inspired by and starring the real-life Roma boxer who competed in Atlanta 1996, is the director’s first venture into the fiction territory. The cinematography by Martin Kollar is reserved yet beautiful, with many long static shots, something you would not expect from a boxing drama.
