Marcin Dudziak : 2014
Calling
A father-and-son rafting expedition down a mountain river is the backdrop to an almost wordless story about the unique moment in a boy's life when something intangible yet somehow anticipated reveals its meaning. The boy's curiosity and desire for new experiences grow stronger than his fear of a world he does not fully grasp. The feeling of solitude and vulnerability he experiences despite his father's presence foreshadows his transformation. What appears as mundane holiday activity within the natural world in which the dominant image is that of the flowing river, gives rise to a tension that is as effective as it is unexplainable. When the danger materialises, the boy seems prepared for it but it will not leave him unchanged. Marcin Dudziak's feature debut premiered in competition at New Horizons International Film Festival, Wrocław 2014.
