  Małgorzata Sadowska's Festival Top 10
  The desire for respite and the urge for confrontation. The fantasy of splendid isolation and the need to look the world straight in the eye—this year, my choices oscillate between extremes. I can’t help it: I only find rest in the storm.
  1 . Dreams (Sex Love)
  A gentle, tender film. A story of first love where everything could go wrong—yet the director steps in like a sapper. So, is it possible to emerge unscathed?
  2. - 6.
  A Poet / Afternoons of Solitude / Yes / The Swan Song of Fedor Ozerov / Measures for a Funeral
  This year’s lineup is filled with films about artists. But not biographies of great figures—rather, cinema that asks uncomfortable questions and casts a skeptical eye on the artist's place in the world. The Poet is a tragicomic gem about the old guard of art. Lapid’s political manifesto, the provocative Yes, speaks to moral decay. In Serra’s Afternoons of Solitude, art becomes an alibi for violence. The debut Swan Song... reopens forgotten questions of commitment. And Measures for a Funeral is a masterclass in filmmaking—laced with bitter truths about the position of women in art.
  7.
  Poetry
  A film about amateur art, culminating in the most thrilling badminton match you’ll ever witness in a cinema. But its conclusions are far from amateurish: true poetry is not in words but in the gesture, the decision.
  8.
  Ari
  How to stop nurturing your inner child while still preserving innocence—and whether that’s even possible.
  9.
  My Dear Subject
  Death, life, death, life—and so it goes. The passing of time etched in loss. Three generations of women, or rather, three stages of womanhood. A vital, existential story of bonds, violence, and intergenerational inheritance, whispered straight into your ear. Miéville films like Ernaux writes.
  10. - 12.
  Control Anatomy / To Gaza / Timestamp
  Gaza and Ukraine. A flood of images—and the attempt to give them form, to find a language that can hold. These films come closest to the nightmare unfolding before our eyes.
