    WARSAW: Maria Sadowska’s new biopic The Art of Love was presented at the 12th CentEast Works in Progress, which took place within the 32nd Warsaw Film Festival from 14 to 16 October 2016. The film is about Michalina Wisłocka, a famous Polish sexologist, who revolutionised the sexual life of the whole country in the middle of the communist regime.

    "Wisłocka was a brave and independent woman, who wanted to teach everyone how to be happy in their relationships. Her character is even more fascinating in Poland nowadays, where the political situation is forcing us to revisit some of these issues", Maria Sadowska told FNE.

    The leading role is played by Magdalena Boczarska and the cast includes Piotr Adamczyk, Justyna Wasilewska, Eryk Lubos, Danuta Stenka, Karolina Gruszka, Borys Szyc, Wojciech Mecwaldowski, Arkadiusz Jakubik and Artur Barciś.

    Watchout Productions is producing in coproduction with TVN S.A., Orange S.A. and Agora S.A. The budget is 1.5 m EUR / 6.7 m PLN, with 463,873 EUR / 2 m PLN support from the Polish Film Institute.

    The film was shot between May and July 2016. "We are currently in postproduction and the rough cut will be ready within a month with the premiere planned for January 2017", producer Justyna Pawlak told FNE. Next Film will distribute the film domestically.
