Six-year-old Stefek is clearly not a typical little boy. Uninterested in the other kids his age in his little Polish town, he spends much of his time playing by himself with toy soldiers, hanging about the train station and learning the secrets of raising pigeons from the elderly locals.
One warm summer, Stefek notices a man who transfers regularly from one train to the next at the railway station nearby. Convinced that this man may be his long-lost father, Stefek takes a cue from his playful sister and begins to toy with fate.
The second feature by Polish director Andrzej Jakimowski, Tricks is an amusing, engaging, and wonderfully poetic film grounded by the charming minutiae of contemporary small- town polish life. It won the Europa Cinemas Label prize for best European film in the independently programmed Venice Days sidebar and has been received warmly by audiences in Europe, and we are proud to present it for the first time here on the lawn of Automotive High School in Greenpoint, right on the edge of New York’s largest Polish community.

You can’t plan for love. It will lurk in abandoned buildings (Cave Flower) or hide in the bushes (Roman Postcards). It will sneak in the kitchen door (The European Kid) or get lost in an alleyway (The A-Z of Love). And love will betray you (Cheat Neutral), mislead you (Polvo) and bite off your swiveling green head (Green Porno: Praying Mantis). This program of romantic short films is all about how love is wily, weird and wonderful.
