Polish actress and writer, born in 1982 in Nysa, Poland. She graduated from the Academy of Theatre Arts in Krakow. From 1999 to 2007, she was a member of the acting ensemble at the Ludowy Theater in Krakow, and played at the Contemporary Theater in Warsaw between 2007 and 2014. “The story presented in the film shows that sometimes children will encounter a problem, but they must remember that they are not alone. That they cannot give up because they have wonderful people around them. I want to show parents who come to the cinema with their children that toddlers, teenagers, have their own subjectivity. In the film, there is room for children to scream, be sad, and angry. I also found space for adults and their mistakes – because such mistakes, despite great love for the child, often happen.” - Magdalena Nieć

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!
Igor Bezinović
Wednesday, 23. 07. 2025 / 21:30 / The Ljubljana Castle
On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
