Decalogue 89+ Vol 2 (Dekalog89+, 2009 -2010) Director: Andrzej Mańkowski, Tomasz Olejarczyk, Adrian Panek Presentation: Eurochannel presents the most ambitious project to ever come from the world of Polish cinema. Decalogue89+ presents ten incredible stories from ten young directors: ten films that will change the face of cinema forever and leave audiences deep in thought. Led by the renowned Polish director Andrzej Mańkowski, Decalogue89+ is the definitive portrait of youth in the modern world. For this incredible project, thousands of young people from across the world submitted their stories. These tales were adapted by dozens of gifted filmmakers, each competing for a shot at the silver screen. The result is a stunning tribute to Krzysztof Kieslowski's masterpiece: "The Decalogue" which, even twenty years after its inception, is a monument of European cinema. This two volume production unveils the day-to-day realities of Europe's most incredible cities as shown through the prism of youth. These ten stories – five per volume – show the ambitions, challenges, and passions of youth, each one representing one of the 10 Commandments applied to the real world. Decalogue89+ was not only the perfect opportunity for teens to express themselves but also for adults to understand them. Synopsis: In its second edition, the remaining commandments are treated. Five more young directors tell stories that demonstrate why we shall not kill, nor commit adultery, nor worship false gods, bear false witness against your neighbour or commit adultery in the short films: The Lodger, Overboard, Janusz W. Case, The scent of flowers does not blow against the wind and The Fence. Trivia: • The coordinator of the project, Andrzej Mańkowski, is a renowned director and winner of multiple festivals, including the Silver Medal at the Film Festival URTI in Monte Carlo for his documentary The Music Lesson. He also has been recognized by the Mayor of Gdyna with the Art Award. |
