Glitter (Brokat) is a series starring Magdalena Poplawska and Wiktoria Filus. It is directed by Anna Kazejak, Julia Kolberger, Marek Lechki and Rafal Skalski.
Ten 30 minute episodes that stand out for the well elaborated retro aesthetics.
The year is 1976, in Sopot (Poland), three resolute women face the social and political norms and customs in pursuit of their independence and freedom – financially, sexually and romantically.
About the Series
Through the multiple narratives, the characters in the series offer us a portrait of life in Poland in the 1970’s where the traditional culture meets new trends.
This unavoidably covers the taboo subject this series seemingly revolves around: sex. Also a means to land well paid jobs.
A depiction of an era that counts on a very elaborate production and is well worth watching, particularly, for its good reconstruction of an epoch and the good atmospherics. With good photography, scenography, and performances.

[Our thanks to Padhrig Harney for the following review.]
A road movie about a man that grows up and overcomes odds to succeed in the end. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of "Erratum" is cliché. Marek Lechki seemed to be well aware of the task that he had given himself. The film overcomes the formula and captures the weekend journey into the past, present, and future of the main characters life. Marek Lechki has worked on several projects in his career. Here we see him as Director, Producer, Musician, and scriptwriter in his first feature film.
Middle-aged accountant and family man Michal played by Tomasz Kot is forced to take a trip to his hometown. The short day trip turns into an extended weekend where Michal is driven to grapple with what he has become and the life that he has been trying to leave behind. In stories such as these there is always conflict,...

Apart from the classic auteurs in the Special Presentations section, the 39th Festival du nouveau cinéma will be filled to the gills in new works from across the globe. I view the extremely popular film festival as sort of a B-side for film festival circuit items that generally find a spot in a major film fest such as Cannes and afterwards would normally fall through the cracks. Think the Nyff's much wilder, Canadian cousin. Over 295 films - this includes shorts, fiction and documentary, animation, retrospectives, tributes, professional panels, outdoor interactive installations, the festival which takes place between the 13th to the 24th of October, furiously promotes not only world talent, but local French Canadian filmmakers. Among the notable titles, we have Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro volte, Olivier Assayas' Carlos and Alex de la Iglesia's The Last Circus and Wang Bing will be in town for a Master Class for Venice-winning The Ditch.
