Since its 1974 debut until today the Film Festival in Gdańsk and Gdynia has gone through a lot, indeed. Numerous battles were fought against censorship. It was a struggle for reliable jury verdicts, many of which were defied.
For the past several years the festival’s screens were a battle arena to win viewers and reflected the attempts at rebuilding the identity and original language of Polish cinema.
“In the Blink of an Eye” is a compilation documentary on the most important film event in Poland from the perspective of four decades. The film is a journey from the oldest festivals to the modern ones, told by means of interviews with filmmakers, quotes from festival-awarded films and archival materials.
