Selected Filmography Karolina Bendera: Dziewczeta Z Osrodka, 2003.
For a moment Karolinka was a star. For her role in the Polish feature film "Hi, Tereska" she received a slew of awards, traveled from one festival to the next, and lived in a reality generally reserved for girls’ dreams. Karolina Bendera visited her two years later, along with her one-year-old son, in a slum where the only outlook is the next ration of vodka. With her hand-held camera, she documents touching attempts made by the 18-year-old to defy the inferno of drugs and violence, and sketches a portrait of a lost generation in a land full of hope.
