One of the guests of this year's edition was US director Martha Coolidge, whose film Music, War and Love had its Polish premiere at the festival.

Music, War and Love is a love story set amid the Holocaust, inspired by stories of Polish musicians from the 1930s and 1940s.

Coolidge, best known for films such as Valley Girl, Real Genius, Rambling Rose, Out to Sea and The Prince and Me, focuses in the production on the role of music in the harsh times of World War II.

Music, War and Love tells the love story between two young musicians, Robert Pulaski, played by Leo Suter, and Rachel Rubin, portrayed by Adelaide Clemens, who are separated by the outbreak of the war.

Martha Coolidge spoke about the film to Polish Radio’s Joanna Sławińska.
