Fogg, cancelled flights and many movies
Sorry for not letting my creativ side express itself sooner here. But well you know that I am contemporarely a volunteer for Camerimage and this job is quiet timeconsuming , at least for me. Since Friday I've been meeting with Camerimage people to being organized or being told how to organize other people. SAturday the big opening Gala was closed to ordinary volunteers as the kind that I am, so I didn't see any movies then. (Although it turned out to be wrong info cause several volunteers suffered through a gladly horrible movie by DAvid Lynch (who was present)which opened the Fetsival). During the last 3 days I've seen 8 movies and most of them were great!I've also attended a workshop about lightning (had to be there casue my guest group taht I am partly taking care off held it). Here are the movies that I can definitely resommend.

undefined The best one was in my opinion a POlish movie called "Retrieval" which was nominated for the Oscar as best foreign film.It's about a 19 year old boy in east Poland who takes care of his older illegal ukranian girlfreind and her son and gets into lots of trouble casue he hase soo many responsibilities.So I hope that it'll be shown in Germany as well at some point of time. Then there is "Pan's labyrinth" a Spanish movie about a young girl that loves fairy tales and mixes them up with reality as she and her pregannt mother move to a military post where her step father lives a cruel life of fighting Guerrilas. Ahh and "Babel" which is in the movie theaters at least here in poland right now (with Kate Blanchet and Brad Pitt, but not at all a typical american production - otherwise it wouldn't be competing in the festival). Well there are of course mnay others but well, I can't see all of them.
Oh I have not yet explained the meaning of the titel. The fact is that's been horribly foggy for the last days and almost all flights to and from Warsaw are canceled what means for us that our guests can't leave or arrive. And that's pretty bad becsaue then they have to get other hotel rooms, flights have to be reschedueled and generally no one knows anything.
I suppose I conveyed the message clear enough that all in all I very much like the festival.Dobranoc muszę spać ( Good night, I gotta sleep)
