"The Dress" sets out to conquer São Paulo
The winner of Best Narrative Short at the Atlanta Film Festival is off to another festival! This time, our award-winning production is coming to the biggest city in the southern hemisphere as part of the São Paulo Film Festival in Brazil! The event will be held in a hybrid format (online and stationary) on December 18-20.
The São Paulo Film Festival (SPFF) is an independent film festival that seeks to support short films from around the world. The festival discovers and helps develop new artists whose visions are beyond imagination and can captivate international audiences.
It's worth mentioning that the trio responsible for "The Dress" – Tadeusz Łysiak (director), Konrad Bloch (cinematographer) and Mariusz Gos (editor) – won the Best Student Film Award at the same festival a few years ago for "Techno", which you can see on our official YouTube channel – CLICK HERE.
"The Dress" premiered during the 60th Krakow Film Festival, where it had already caught the attention of critics and audiences. The title went on a journeyl to film festivals and film events around the world, garnering numerous awards and accolades along the way. The most important of them is Best Narrative Short Award at the Atlanta Film Festival.
We wish the film crew good luck at the festival in Brazil!
