About Elly

Dir. Asghar Farhadi, France, Iran 2009, length 1:59
The film presents the modern face of Iran which until now has been rarely seen. It’s a film about the dangers of sending inappropriate signals in a society that, above all, values keeping the clearly defined rules of behavior. Farhadi builds this psychological drama with a master’s hand, uncovering layer after layer of truth about his heroes. He strips the characters bare after revealing the web of lies they’ve woven for themselves.

The Optimist

Dir. Kryspin Pluta, Poland 2012, length 0:45
8 year old Mateusz enrolls in a sailing school for children. When he sets sail alone in his small boat out onto the Baltic Sea he fights not only the waves, but most of all, his own fear. Sailing school is actually a difficult school of character building. Will Mateusz defeat his own weaknesses and pass this first exam in the school of life? The Optimist is an emotional and subtle story of how little courage we have but how much we can gain when we become courageous.
