x is very pleased to announce that Fragments Of May – directed by Maria Pia Fanigliulo and produced by Paul Harry Thomas – has been selected from over 3,000 entries to receive its world premiere as an Official Selection for the 55th Krakow Film Festival.
The KFF is one of the oldest film festivals in Europe, recognised by FIAPF, FIPRESCI and FICC. The films awarded at Krakow are automatically eligible for the European Film Awards and the Oscars in the short films categories.
Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s early poems about life, and David Foster Wallace's very first short story, which visualises depression as living on a different planet to Earth, Fragments Of May splits the eponymous lead character into two halves: one struggling in London; the other trying to recover from depression in a youth clinic – until events lead the two storylines to collide.
