\"\"<\/a>It is worth keeping Saturday evening June 15 free to visit the Polish House in Dublin. At
\n7pm the Final Gala of International Short Film Festival ODDALENIA – ISFFO 2019 will begin.
\nThis is a unique festival that has been connecting fans of short films for eleven years.
\nI wonder why this festival is so special? Why is it worthwhile to be at the Final Gala of the
\nInternational Short Film Festival ODDALENIA 2019? There are several reasons. First of all, the
\nfestival's repertoire consists of films that have been sent from various parts of the world.
\nFilms from Spain, India, Ireland and Poland will be presented this year. Both professionals
\nand amateurs are fighting for the Grand Prix, because it is open to every director. The
\nselection committee chose the best movies. The final ten will be presented at the festival.
\nThe international jury, chaired by C\u00f3il\u00edn \u00d3 Scola\u00ed, will award and give prizes. Prizes are also
\nallocated by the public through a voting system. This is a very important moment for many
\ndirectors. For young filmmakers, this is a great incentive to start a new career path.
\nHowever, for directors who have been making films for many years, it is often a confirmation
\nthat they have made good choices in their lives. And above all, it is a very pleasant
\nexperience. Even audience members get prizes at this festival. An Honorary member of the
\njury is Consul Katarzyna Kasperkiewicz.
\nThe final gala is divided into three parts: film screening, artistic performance and distribution
\nof prizes. This year, we focused on young or little-known artists. The Grand Prix statuette
\naccording to its own design was prepared by Wiola Rat, a second year student at the
\nNational College of Art and Design in Dublin. Kacper Jaroszy\u0144ski will participate on two
\ndifferent levels on the night. He will present a bodhr\u00e1n made by himself and play a mini
\nconcert on this instrument. In addition, he will be the official photographer of the festival.
\nThe walls of the Polish House have been decorated with the exhibition of Katarzyna
\nWo\u0142kowycka, a painter, animator of culture and an art therapist.
\nThe festival connects film people, art lovers, but above all people of good will. Last year
\nduring the festival, we collected money for the renovation of the Polish House. This year, we
\nare collecting money for the rehabilitation of Wioletta Szy\u0142ejko. In 2017, this young woman
\nhad a car accident. She was pregnant at the time. Despite the fact that she was in a coma,
\nthe doctors did a wonderful job in caring for her and little Natalia was born. After a long
\ntime, Wioletta also awake from the coma. She is still in the hospital and a long rehabilitation
\nis required. We, as the creators of this festival, want the hearts of our viewers to connect.
\nDuring the festival a special stand will be prepared, where you can buy books and drawings
\nor simply make a donation.
\nThe project is co-financed by the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland.<\/p>\n
