Testimony

Jerzy Hoffman

I feel great here, not only as an artist but just as I am, as a person. On the whole, I think the festivals are indispensable as they let artists meet, dispute, argue time to time, and sometimes just see each other face to face. It always brings something new. I am so much surprised, so surprised with what I saw here. And not only concerning organization, hospitality etc. But the entire atmosphere every evening, the ability to see all the interesting and great in the city, and the ability to see and communicate with each other face to face. I am glad! Really glad that the festival is here in Kyiv. Because its so important for us, the Poles, that the renascence of national spirituality, without which there could be no state and economic development happens this way. And may the Lord help you! That’s why I am with you, with my entire heart I am with you!

Daniel Olbrychski

It is very important, very important because someone thinks of our profession. In order for the performance or the movie to take place there will be one person, a cameraman who will turn the camera on. What is more important – we need at least one spectator and an actor. And when we have millions of spectators the actors will always be talented, the key is the work and love of spectators.
