Exploring the cultural ties between Africa and Europe, Polish filmmaker Joanna Kos-Krauze is set to shoot a film next year in Rwanda.
According to her, the film is about saving a child from genocide and who brought to Poland. The child ultimately returns to Africa.
"It is fiction... It will explore the connections and we will start shooting in May next year," said Kok-Krauze.
She was speaking at an interactive session on contemporary black and white films being screened as part of the 19th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) that began Sunday.
Krauze's latest film "Papusza", co-directed with her husband Krysztof Krauze, is a modern black and white film that portrays a biographical piece of Romany poet Bronislawa Wajs, known as Papusza. She is hailed as the first gypsy poet in her country.
Speaking on the dwindling gypsy culture, Krauze said: "After World War II, they almost got killed and were forced to settle in one place and forbidden to move."
