The radical Polish director Małga Kubiak is regularly represented with her films at the Pornfilmfestival Berlin. In 2016 we showed “Andy Warhol to se vrati: boyz” and in 2019 followed “Federico Garcia Lorca Noir Despair”. Last year she was in the festival program with “Xreens”. In her latest film “D’Vinci”, the filmmaker again reflects on a famous artist. As expected, it did not turn out to be a typical biopic, and Kubiak dives deep into the meaning that her films and her way of working have and had for herself and for others – as always in her incomparable no-budget style. In today’s conservative Poland, her way of making films is no easy feat.

A comedy about a straight guy who thinks his girlfriend is leaving him because he loses in comparison with a friend. Very frustrated by this situation, he decides to seduce a film school classmate with dark intentions.
»Polish performance artist Leon K. Dziemaszkiewicz creates art that many of his peers aspire to: it challenges, confuses, touches and enjoys a respectable accessibility. His own body, the playfulness and the perversion that comes with it dominate his provocative performances. Coupled with a wide range of human emotions – from sadness to frustration and aggression – Leon creates his own little cosmos with each show. A documentary about the magical-obscene world of an expressionist who strongly believes in art beyond the comfort zone.« {Kai Hermann}
