Documentary Academy: A filmmaker’s first steps. A conversation with director Jakub Poterała

after the screening of CANDIDATES OF DEATH, dir. Maciej Cuske

Recommended age: 16+

Over a dozen years ago, Maciej took his son and two of his young friends on vacation, during which they filmed an amateur horror movie together. 'Candidates of Death' is a film about the power of great friendship, growing up, the changes we go through, our fears, dreams, and plans, set against the backdrop of a grand cinematic adventure spanning decades.
