Made in Poland - Extras, 16 May

As part of Tyneside's Polish culture festival, Made in Poland, there will be a screening of Michal Kwiecinski's Extras (Statysci, 2005, 115 mins, 2005, Polish with English subtitles).

Chinese filmmakers decide to shoot a movie in Poland. They perceive Poles as a nation of sad people, so they want to hire them when they need Europeans with gloomy faces to work as extras. The surprising events on the film set will lead to a revision of stereotypes. People from two different nations will look at themselves from a distance and as a result, it will bring them together.
