A moving event at the beginning of the conference

A talented boy, whose parents have been struggling to support him, find the joy of
fulfilment. A perfect recipe for both an award-wining movie and for a moving evening
screening to start our conference. If you plan to attend the conference but are still
considering if you should be there on September 11, please feel invited to both the
screening and the meeting with the filmmakers.

The main protagonist of the movie Sonata is Grzegorz Płonka. At the age of 14, he
was diagnosed with hearing impairment. Previously, it was assumed that the boy had
autism, but the breakthrough diagnosis changed his life. It gave him new dreams and their
fulfilment in playing the piano. Come and discover the story about the daily struggle of the
protagonist and his family, as they discover the truth and develop his talent.
The film has won many awards - including the Audience Award and Special Award at
the OFF Camera Festival, Złote Lwy (Golden Lions Award), and Orły (the Eagles Award).
The screening of Sonata will open this year's ISBA Conference. I will be held on
September 11 at the Lower Silesian Film Centre (DCF), which is a Conference Partner.
