21.30 | 9.30 p.m.
My Love Affair with Marriage | Mój romans z małżeństwem, dir. Signe Baumane, cast: Dagmara Dominczyk, Michele Pawk, Ieva Katkovska, Kristine Pastare, Iluta Alsberga Sergei, Cameron Monaghan, Matthew Modine, prod. Studio Locomotive, The Marriage Project Llc, Antevita Films, LU/LV/USA 2022, 108’
Another feature-length animation by the excellent creator Signe Baumane, following "Stone in My Pocket," which fights stereotypes about the image and role of women in society. From an early age, songs and fairy tales told Zelma that Love would solve all her problems as long as she followed societal expectations about how a girl should behave. But as she grows up, something seemed not to fit the concept of love: the more she tried to conform, the more her body resisted. A story about accepting inner female rebellion.
