The programme for the 2021 edition of Polish Days industry event includes Lipstick On The Glass, the latest film from Polish director Kuba Czekaj.
Czekaj’s film, which is currently in post-production, is participating as one of six works-in-progress, alongside nine titles in development and five completed films.
The film follows a woman who is induced to abandon her gangster husband to join a feminist sect.
It is produced by Pawel Kosun and Agnieszka Janowska for Poland’s Centrala Film, and Arek Gielnik for Germany’s Indi Film.
The film will be Czekaj’s fourth feature; his second film Baby Bump debuted in Biennale College – Cinema at Venice 2015, going on to play SXSW in the US; while The Erlprince played at Berlin, Vilnius and Edinburgh the following year.
Polish Days 2021 will run from August 15 to 17, during the 21st New Horizons International Film Festival (August 12-22) in Wrocław.
Projects presented in previous editions of the event include Jan Komasa’s Corpus Christi, which went on to be nominated for best international feature at the 2020 Academy Awards; and Magnus van Horn’s Sweat, which was awarded the Cannes 2020 label before a premiere at Toronto, and has sold to Curzon for the UK and Ireland, and Mubi for the US.
