Polish director Piotr Domalewski, whose film “I Never Cry” screens this week in El Gouna Film Festival’s Out of Competition section, is facing a growing controversy surrounding his next proje…

“I Never Cry,” which screened at San Sebastian Film Festival, was inspired by real events too. “I like to have a real story at the core of my films, something I can believe in myself,” Domalewski says. “A friend of mine told me about it on the set of another production, because it happened to him. He had to go abroad to bring his father’s body back after his tragic death. Everything else – the social background, the reason for emigration – is my own invention.

Having a female lead wasn’t a challenge for Domalewski. “I have four younger sisters, so it wasn’t difficult,” he says, with a laugh. “My protagonist, Ola, talks like one of them, moves like another, is aggressive like the third, and smokes her cigarettes like the fourth. I have watched them for many, many years.”Domalewski, who has an acting background himself, adds: “Acting, for me, is not about playing a character, but trying to imagine his or her situation.

In “I Never Cry,” he is also addressing stereotypes surrounding Poles working abroad, with “pierogi” – Polish dumpling – being the first thing that comes to mind for some people. “Someone hears ‘Germany,’ and says ‘wurst.’ Or ‘Italy’ and they go ‘pizza’! Everyone struggles with such stereotypes, but I think it’s finally changing,” he says. “My brother is an emigrant and he lives in Scotland, and the opinion about Polish workers has changed [for the better].
