Bloodline

The touring festival, which was created and developed exclusively as a result of grassroots initiatives, in 2026 will visit more than forty towns throughout Poland — including Tarnowskie Góry. The partners of the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights — co-organizers of the touring festival in individual cities — select films from the repertoire of the last edition of the Warsaw IFF WATCH DOCS.

While a wall is being built in the Białowieża Forest to stop the influx of migrants, a lone bison tries to return to the herd in a forest full of troops. A powerful visual metaphor prompts reflection on the fate of people who, in the same forest, are trying unsuccessfully to find their way to a better life.
