Thursday Nov 12th - No Ghosts at the Good Street (Nie ma Duchów...)
No Ghosts on Good Street (Nie ma duchów w mieszkaniu na Dobrej, 2025) | Drama Director: Emi Buchwald Cast: Bartłomiej Deklewa, Izabella Dudziak, Karolina Rzepa, Tymoteusz Rożynek Four siblings standing at the threshold of adulthood search for their own paths while navigating family bonds, secrets, personal crises — and a mysterious presence that may or may not be haunting their Warsaw apartment. Tender, imaginative and deeply contemporary, Emi Buchwald’s feature debut captures the uncertainty of becoming an adult while trying not to lose the people who know us best. One of the discoveries of the 2025 Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, winning Best Director, Best Supporting Actress for Karolina Rzepa, the Journalists’ Award and the Casting Direction Award. Buchwald later received the 2026 Polish Film Award (Orzeł) for Discovery of the Year, while Karolina Rzepa won the Orzeł for Best Supporting Actress.
