Fotofestiwal is not only photography. This year, we will invite you to screenings of two films produced on our behalf. Unique films, because they concern the most current phenomena in Poland and Europe, as seen through the eyes of directors from Syria and Palestine.

“The Other Refugees”, dir. Mohammed Almughanni
A close-up observation to the crisis of Ukrainian refugees on the Polish borders. The elderly, women, children, including foreigners who were residing in Ukraine and were forced to flee too. The documentary is presented through the perspective of the international humanitarian volunteers while they provide assistance and food to refugees and their pets that accompany them on the journey.

“Shadows”, dir. Ola Shaya & Rami Shaya
Three stories highlighting the adventures of those who aim to come to Poland. Maria, Stefan and the Watermelon Lady. Maria is waiting for her in-laws to come for Christmas, Stefan pretends to be a mushroom picker to help refugees who are stuck at the Polish-Belarusian border, and the Watermelon Lady who wishes to be a Ukrainian cat.
