I would love to go. We were talking about it last night.
I know a Polish boy who loves movies. This is the only way I can get him to hang out with me!
I went the last two years and really really want to go this year too!
Just some of my reasons:
1). There will be great movies and this is the only film festival I have ever gone to!
2). Gives me a chance to practice the few Polish words I learned from the Polish archaeologists I excavated with in Jordan years ago
3). I would like to go to Poland some day, but the festival will have to do for now…
4). My co-worker is Polish and she is SOOO cool!
I really want to see the awesome and intriguing creativity flowing out from this culture!
Congratulations Janelle! you have been chosen as the winner for the Polish Film Festival!
