Short films quickly react to dynamically changing reality. It didn’t take long for the first movies about COVID-19 pandemic to be made. It is difficult to thoroughly describe the situation in which we all unexpectedly found ourselves in, and which is still going on. The authors of those films rose to the occasion. Thanks to their involvement, we can learn about various attitudes towards pandemic and problems related to it. And although we’ll look into different parts of the world, what we see will often turn out to be strangely familiar.

The screening will also be available online with SDH subtitles.
