The Lure by Agnieszka Smoczyńska

WARSAW: Michał Marczak received the Directing Award: World Cinema Documentary for All These Sleepless Nights while Agnieszka Smoczyńska was awarded A World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Unique Vision and Design for The Lure at the Sundance Film Festival's awards ceremony in Park City, Utah, USA on 30 January 2016.

All These Sleepless Nights / Wszystkie Nieprzespane Noce (produced by Endorfina Studio in coproduction with Pulse Films) follows young residents of the Polish capital, Warsaw.

Agnieszka Smoczyńska’s musical-horror The Lure tells the story of two mermaids who show up in the middle of the Warsaw dancing scene of the 80's. Smoczyńska’s debut feature was produced by Wytwórnia Filmów Dokumentalnych i Fabularnych, WFDiF in coproduction with Platige Image and Telewizja Polska – Agencja Produkcji Telewizyjnej i Filmowej. It was supported by the Polish Film Institute.
