Marcin Ciastón & Piotr Domalewski

Marcin Ciastón took part in the Cross Channel Film Lab Training in 2016 for the development of this feature film.

The Cross Channel Film Lab Training is a European programme designed to bring together screenwriters, directors and producers to work with experts in new image technologies and script-consultants. What impact do these technologies have on storytelling, and how can they influence the development and production of medium and low budget film projects?
The Cross Channel Film Lab Training was held from 2015 to 2016, initiated by Le Groupe Ouest in partnership with Creative England and Falmouth University, and supported by Creative Europe.

Synopsis

Not satisfied with the result of a murder investigation in Warsaw’s gay community, an officer in 1980s communist Poland resolves to uncover the truth.
