The Jan Machulski Awards, which are presented every year during Cinemaforum Festival, is a project with a years of tradition consisting in presenting, promoting and honoring the most talented filmmakers operating so far outside the mainstream film industry.

During yesterday's (November 6) Final Ceremony of the Cinemaforum festival at the Atlantic Cinema, the following statuettes were awarded to:

EMIL SIENNICKI in the Best Actor category for the film „My Brother a Fisherman” directed by Alicja Sokół. It is worth noting that this was his first acting experience! The financial award was funded by the ZAiKS.
EWA KONSTANCJA BUŁHAK in the Best Actress category for the film „Only Until Dawn” directed by Eliza Godlewska and Alan Ruczyński. This is the first, but certainly not the last, award for this title. The financial award was funded by the ZASP.

Congratulations to the winners! We are very happy that our creators can work on the set with such great talent.

MY BROTHER A FISHERMAN

dir. Alicja Sokół

Somewhere at the end of the world, in the middle of nowhere, there are two brothers who live in a small fishing village. Not being alike makes them unable to find common ground. While the older one is focused on work, the younger one sends messages to take part in radio competition hoping that first place will change his life. The unexpected disappearance of their father force the brothers closer together while they takeover his duties at the fishing port.
