APRIL 2019 at the SALON

Documentary Shredding II:  
My Friend the Polish Girl
at the CMU International Film Festival

In the second look at films that share characteristics of fiction and non-, we have My Friend the Polish Girl.  Filmmakers Ewa Banaszkiewicz & Mateusz Dymek describe it as "a fiction documentary."  Set in post-Brexit-vote London, we see Alicja, a Polish immigrant and aspiring actress, through the eyes and lens of Katie, a rich American amateur documentary filmmaker.  

"Don't worry," the filmmakers advise, "it will all makes sense when you see the film."  And, for a fiction film, it says a lot about documentary.
