Spotlight Summer School back in Poznan

The Wielkopolskie Lamy Film Festival, the most important film event in Poznan voivodeship and one of the well-known independent film festivals in Poland, is a real celebration of movies: more than a hundred film screenings and accompanying cultural events are held in several cultural institutions of the city. 

Hence, it was an honor that some short film etudes, produced by participants of the Spotlight Summer School in 2022 in Poznan and 2023 in Józsefváros, Budapest, were included in the festival programme. On 8th October, two films from Poznan and four from Józsefváros were screened in the Contemporary Art Gallery in Poznan. Three Spotlight participants, Emre Can Alptekin, Marta Dubiel, and Erik Kadar, were present at the screening thus the audience could ask them about their experiences, intentions, and impressions. The Spotlight team members are grateful to the organizers of the Wielkopolskie Lamy Film Festival, in particular, Rafał Mościcki and Patryk Kolwicz for making this screening possible. Special thanks to the audience, who dedicated their time to this event and actively participated in the follow-up Q&A. 

The short films from Poznan are already available on the Spotlight Summer School’s website, and the films from Budapest will soon be uploaded:
