The film won the Golden Kangaroo for Best Film at the 49th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.
  • My Nikifor (2004) – A masterpiece by acclaimed director Krzysztof Krauze, this tender narrative about self-taught artist Nikifor Krynicki offers a profound exploration of creativity, resilience, and the human spirit.

The Kinoteka Polish Film Festival 2024 will open on December 16 at 6:30 PM with the screening of Simona Kossak at the Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre. The event will commence with a welcome address by Małgorzata Wejsis-Gołębiak, Director of the Polish Institute.
