āThe Power and Control Over Intimacyā From Cannes and Telluride nominee Ewa Banaszkiewicz and Mateusz Dymek comes a fiction film that takes the form of a first-time filmmakerās documentary. 'My Friend the Polish Girl' borrows from cineĢma veĢriteĢ and video bloggers to create a rare naturalism in style and performance. The fiction film watches as an experimental documentary told through the eyes (and lens) of amateur filmmaker Katie, an American rich kid following Alicja, an erratic unemployed Polish actress. Set in a post- Brexit-vote London, Katieās colonising, disruptive presence in Alicjaās life mirrors the treatment of migrants in the UK: Welcomed, used, then discarded. A raw, sexual, and visually brash film exploring the abusive power and control over someoneās intimacy.
Director: Ewa Banaszkiewicz, Mateusz Dymek
