Edi- Piotr Trzaskalski
This strange but compelling grunge fairy tale is a parable in the spirit of Eastern philosophy, promoting sacrifice and human goodness. Gentle Edi and wasted alcoholic Jurek work as scrap-metal pickers in a grimy urban area. They spend the money they make on booze. In the hovel they share at the edge of town, Edi's prized possession is a library of found classics that he keeps in an abandoned refrigerator. Edi's literary bent draws the attention of the fearsome "Brothers," two vulgar and ruthless men who run various illegal businesses. They demand that Edi tutor their 17-year-old sister "Princess," whom they try to keep under lock-and-key. Princess, however, is not interested in her studies. She is having an illicit relationship with Gypsy, an associate of her brothers. When Princess discovers that she is pregnant, she accuses Edi of rape, sparking a painful cycle of revenge and redemption. This year's Polish submission for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. (100 mins.)

The Supplement- Krysztof Zanussi
Half sequel and half companion piece to his earlier Life As A Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease (PIFF 24), Supplement focuses on frustrated medical student Filip and his pragmatic girlfriend, Hanka. Torn between a materially rewarding career as a doctor and the monastic life of a priest, Filip agonizingly wonders if he has truly received his calling or if he's meant for the secular world. Standing by while Filip struggles to find the answer within himself, Hanka has her own inner struggle-can she bear to go through the motions of day-to-day life as
he keeps her at a distance, or does her love indeed have limits? Supplement is a vivid meditation on the limits of faith, the merits of steadfast love and one man's struggle
to decide between flesh, spirit or something in between. (101 mins.) Print courtesy of
