Sweat

Aug 17—Aug 20, 2024
    Part of
  • SWEAT!
  • and
  • BAM Film 2024
Directed by Magnus von Horn (2020)
With Magdalena Koleśnik, Aleksandra Konieczna, Julian Świeżewski

Beneath the slick sheen of Polish fitness influencer Sylwia Zajac’s gym-fresh glow and motivational social media posts is a cesspool of insecurity, loneliness, and dejection just waiting to boil over. For three days of Sylwia’s life, we share the role of voyeur alongside Sylwia’s adoring fans and creepy stalker, who seems to be the only person interested in seeing beyond the carefully constructed facade. Navigating her critical mother, a relentless news media, and her sleazy colleague, Sylwia is pushed into increasingly dark and dangerous territory in her frantic search for connection.
