The Polish Film Awards (also known as the Eagles) are as international as it gets this year, as the top three awards – Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay – have gone to Quo Vadis, Aida? [+lire aussi :

) was on board as the Polish partner of the project. In her moving acceptance speech, she said that she has noticed that people are getting used to the war in Ukraine, just like at a certain point they got used to war in the former Yugoslavia, and this should not happen. She pleaded for people not to grow accustomed to the evil being perpetrated in the world.

The Polish crew of Quo Vadis, Aida? included editor Jarosław Kamiński, who nabbed the award in his category. While there is no dispute over the artistic value of Žbanić’s film, the decision of the Polish Film Academy members did raise a few eyebrows, since the local stake in the other hopefuls was strong across all of the categories.

, reminded those present about the refugee crisis that has been going on at the Polish-Belarusian border since autumn 2021.

Magnesia also snagged the Best Make-up Award (for Waldemar Pokromski and Agnieszka Hodowana), while two Eagles went to Back to Those Days, for Best Actor (Maciej Stuhr, giving, as he put it, his most important performance) and Best Music (Marcin Masecki).
