Prowincjonalia Film Festival screens our films, THE HORSE TAIL directed by Justyna Łuczaj and produced by the INDEKS Film Studio, as well as fiction student films.
The 29th Prowincjonalia National Film Art Festival runs in Września from 17 to 20, April.
The festival is a competition of the best Polish feature films, television films and documentaries about rural and small-town themes, as well as original and artistic cinema dominated by the world of simple, universal values, subtlety and aesthetics of narrative. It is also often called the festival of peripheral and outsider cinema.
This year's competition includes Justyna Łuczaj's feature debut, THE HORSE TAIL, produced by INDEKS Film Studio.
This is a modern version of the Oedipus myth. The action of the film takes place in an undefined place (in a town at the foot of a cliff, between a rubbish dump, barns and a forest), where people hide painful secrets. After years of absence, Diana returns to town with milk dripping from her breasts. She is depressed and has lapses in memory. Her return coincides with a crime committed in the nearby forest. Things get complicated when the main suspect Maj befriends ten-year-old Dagmara, the daughter of the victim. Their relationship is based on exceptional sensitivity and opposition to the corrupt world. When a horsetail wraps around them while they are play in the river, Maj knows it's a bad sign.
