MY FRIEND THE POLISH GIRL
Now Available
A young female documentarian strives for hyperreality in her most recent project, while she manipulates the life story of an unemployed Polish actress living in London.
SYNOPSIS
'My Friend The Polish Girl' borrows from cinema verite and video bloggers to recreate a naturalistic, documentary style within the framework of a traditional narrative feature. The film follows Katie, a wealthy American filmmaker living in London, as she chooses the subject of her next project: Alicja, an erratic and unemployed Polish actress new to the city. As they grow closer, Katie's colonizing and disruptive presence in Alicja's life begins to blur the lines between documentarian and subject, and between manipulated fiction and reality. Set in a post Brexit sociopolitical landscape, Katie's treatment of Alicja mirrors the United Kingdom's approach towards the European immigrant community: welcomed, used, then discarded. 'My Friend The Polish Girl' is a raw, sexual, and visually brash film exploring the intersection of power, control, and intimacy, set against the backdrop of contemporary British culture.
