THE PEASANTSbr br CHŁOPIbr br Directed by DK Welchman and Hugh Welchmanbr Poland, Serbia, Lithuania | 115 min | 2023 | oil-painting animation | Polishbr br THE PEASANTS tells the story of Jagna, a young woman determined to forge her own path within the confines of a late 19th century Polish village – a hotbed of gossip and on-going feuds, held together, rich and poor, by pride in their land, adherence to colourful traditions and a deep-rooted patriarchy. When Jagna finds herself caught between the conflicting desires of the village’s richest farmer, his eldest son and other leading men of the community, her resistance puts her on a tragic collision course with the community around her.br br Credits br br Director: DK Welchman (aka Kobiela), Hugh Welchmanbr Screenplay: DK Welchman, Hugh Welchmanbr Cinematography: Radosław Ładczuk, Kamil Polak, Szymon Kuriatabr Director of Animation: Piotr Dominiakbr Editing: DK Welchman, Patrycja Piróg, Miki Węcel br Production Design: Elwira Plutabr Costume Design: Katarzyna Lewińskabr Music Composer: Łukasz „L.U.C.” Rostkowskibr Hair and Make-Up: Waldemar Pokromski Mirosława Wojtczakbr br Cast: Kamila Urzędowska, Robert Gulaczyk, Mirosław Baka, Sonia Mietielica, Ewa Kasprzyk, Cezary Łukaszewicz, Małgorzata Kożuchowska, Sonia Bohosiewicz, Dorota Stalińska, Andrzej Konopka, Mateusz Rusin, and Maciej Musiał. br br Produced by: Breakthru Films (LOVING VINCENT)br Co-produced by: Digitalkraft d o.o., Art.
