For Immediate Release - Films We Like is pleased to announce its acquisition of Canadian distribution rights to AGATA THE WRITER, the feature debut of writer-director Kuba Dorabialski, starring Mia Wasikowska. The Australian film had its world premiere in competition at Giornate degli Autori (Venice Days), part of the 2026 Venice International Film Festival, followed by its Australian premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival.
Polish-Australian novelist Agata (Mia Wasikowska) travels from Sydney to Sarajevo to write a novel set against the Bosnian War. As she speaks with local residents, her motives are questioned and her literary project begins to unravel. Meanwhile, provocative artworks mysteriously disappear from the house where she is staying, unsettling the boundary between fiction and lived experience. Through these encounters, Agata begins to reconsider what her novel is really about: not the war itself, but the quiet acts of resilience that persist in its shadow, and the responsibilities that come with telling someone else's story.
