The Youtube premiere of the film "The Woodkin" directed by Mateusz Motyka
Warsaw Film School is coming back with our series of online film premieres. On Tuesday, March 23rd at 7PM we invite you to our official Youtube channel for the online premiere of the film "The Woodkin" directed by our graduate Mateusz Motyka. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director, hosted by Marcin Radomski of Kino Rozmowa.
A father, a son, a forest and a loaded shotgun - the story of an attempted reconciliation that becomes a painful lesson in adulthood for all involved. After ten years of absence, Krzysiek takes his son on a hunting trip where he does everything to get his boy back. Over the course of several days of hunting, the men grow close to each other again. What they don't know is that their behavior will awaken the Woodkin – the spirit of the forest, protector of animals and judge of hunters. Woodkin wants to punish those who break the laws of nature. . .
