The radical Polish director Małga Kubiak is regularly represented with her films at the Pornfilmfestival Berlin. In 2016 we showed “Andy Warhol to se vrati: boyz” and in 2019 followed “Federico Garcia Lorca Noir Despair”. Last year she was in the festival program with “Xreens”. In her latest film “D’Vinci”, the filmmaker again reflects on a famous artist. As expected, it did not turn out to be a typical biopic, and Kubiak dives deep into the meaning that her films and her way of working have and had for herself and for others – as always in her incomparable no-budget style. In today’s conservative Poland, her way of making films is no easy feat.

The dancer who almost vanished from history — brought back in a storm of dreams and rebellion. Lucia Joyce, the brilliant but forgotten daughter of James Joyce, moves through a world that refuses to let her be free. Lucia Joyce & Flappers is not a simple retelling of her life — it’s a radical resurrection. In a hypnotic blend of memory, fantasy, and historical imagination, Małga Kubiak reclaims Lucia’s voice, her body, and her fierce, uncontainable spirit.
