During the 2018 Gdynia Polish Film Festival, 'Kler' was met with the longest applause of the audience which should have given it the Zloty Klakier (Golden Clapper) award, presented each year by public Radio Gdansk. However, the Managing Director of Radio Gdansk decided not to award any movie with Golden Clapper that year, citing 'an impossibility of objective assessment of survey accuracy' as a pretext . Commentators have connected it with the controversial subject of the movie, which was criticized by the part of ruling politicians in Poland, who decide about manning of the public media.
