The weekend’s final premiere is the animated story of Ari Folman, the creator of the Oscar-nominated anti-war Waltz with Bashir , the film Where is Anne Frank. Made on the basis of the comic book by Folman and David Polonsky, also published in Poland, the film will delight children, parents and every lover of wise animation. It is an extremely up-to-date story about the fact that everyone deserves respect and has the right to a dignified life and a safe home. In the Polish language version, the characters are voiced by Maja Ostaszewska and Maciej Stuhr. The starting point for Ari Folman’s animation is Anne Frank ‘s Diary, one of the most important testimonies of the Holocaust. Anne, a 13-year-old Jewish girl hiding in Amsterdam, addressed her notes to her invisible friend Kitty. In Folman’s film, Kitty leaves the pages of the book to find Anne in Amsterdam from the near future. And he discovers that although every second hospital, bridge or school is named after the author of war memoirs, the city is still full of prejudices and people who have to hide. The final shape and message of the film was influenced by the refugee crisis of 2015, which dispelled the illusion that war, flight and exclusion are experiences forever locked in museums and in history textbooks. It is a deeply humanistic film calling for help for the weaker, tolerance and solidarity with every person in need.
