Cinetopia: DOC presents the Scottish premiere of award-winning documentary APOLONIA, APOLONIA. Director Lea Glob creates an intimate portrait of unconventional artist Apolonia Sokol from her bohemian upbringing in an underground theatre in Paris to her trying voyage into the art world. Covering a span of 13 years, the film captures a woman's resilience to forge her own path as an artist while it celebrates the friendship between the filmmaker and her subject.
