FPFF in Gdynia 2026 - nomination: Golden Lions - Participation in the main competition (Agnieszka Smoczyńska)

Agnieszka Smoczyńska returns with a new film to genre cinema with the energy, fantasy and audacity that have made Daughters of Dancing one of the most iconic Polish debuts of the 21st century.

Hot Spot is a futuristic sci-fi thriller set in the near future, where the social order is set by conscious artificial intelligence. A private detective investigates a murder and comes across a group of rebels capable of undermining the power of the digital system. The deeper he delves into the matter, the more he becomes convinced that in a world governed by algorithms, nothing is what it seems.

The international cast of Hot Spot included Andrzej Konopka (LARP. Love, Trolls and Other Quests, Daughters of Dancing), Noomi Rapace (Girl with Tattoo, Prometheus) and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood).
