Acclaimed British short film maker Daniel Mulloy took home the Silver Dragon for best director for his newest provocation, Baby, about the dangerous seduction between an AIDS-stricken young Eastern European girl living in London and the black man who follows her home one night .

Mulloy, a three time BAFTA award winner for his shorts work, is one of the world's most well regarded short filmmakers, but he may have outdone himself with this one; Baby will haunt you well after its final frame goes dark. Aided by the larger canvas afforded through a partnership with Film Four and the now extinct UK Film Council's Cinema Extreme series, which has funded such lauded shorts  as Andrea Arnold's Oscar winner Wasp, Mulloy's newest film retains the grim intimacy his no-budget work has been so well regarded for.

Laura D'Asta traveled to Poland to collect the Silver Dragon for Best Short Film at Krakow Film Festival. Having worked in the Art and Producion departments on Baby Laura recently excepted a new role when she stepped up to Associate Produce Mulloy's new film, Nena.
