The first weekend of Millennium Docs Against Gravity in Poland has opened with the award-winning film, Closure, directed by Michał Marczak. The documentary, about a father's desperate search for his missing teenage son, won the Golden Alexander at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival in Greece in March and premiered in World Cinema Documentary Competition at Sundance. Marczaks' journey began when he met Daniel on the Vistula River in Warsaw while he was scouting locations for a fiction project. He learned that Daniel was searching for his son Chris, who had last been seen standing on the Warsaw Bridge. Without knowing if his son jumped to his death or is still alive somewhere, Daniel cannot find closure. The film has been seen as a psychological film about the effects of this situation on the family and on Daniel.
