We are less than five weeks away from the beginning of the annual celebration of the art of cinematography – the 31st edition of EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival.
The Festival will commence on Saturday, November 11th, with an Opening Ceremony followed by a screening of a truly unique motion picture that has already been named one of the major cinematic events of 2023. Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, recently awarded with the Venice Film Festival’s coveted Golden Lion, is going to open EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2023 and will be introduced by its Golden Frog-winning cinematographer Robbie Ryan BSC ISC.
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
Yorgos Lanthimos and Robbie Ryan have already collaborated on The Favourite which in 2018 was competing for Golden Frog in EnergaCAMERIMAGE Main Competition and was awarded with the Festival’s Audience Award.
Be sure to note that the screening of Poor Things will be held on November 11th in CKK Jordanki in Toruń and will be a part of EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2023 Opening Ceremony, to which you need an invitation. However, subject to availability of free seats, we will admit holders of festival entry cards.
