Who was Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz? Are we able to answer this question? Do we understand his strangeness, perversions and insatiability? Are we able to decipher and understand his games with identity and image? A film essay made with the use of modern technology (for example, videos recorded with a cell phone were used) creates a spiritual image of the writer as seen through the eyes of contemporary scholars of his work and interpreters of his works. The images were recorded at Witkacy's photography exhibition 'Witkacy. Psychoholism' in Krakow's Bunkier Sztuki and during the academic session 'Witkacy: near or far', held on the 70th anniversary of the writer's death at the Museum of Central Pomerania in Slupsk.
A colorful story about the outstanding Polish composer and violinist Grażyna Bacewicz (1909-69). The film documents the composer's life, work and artistic path in great detail. Shots were taken in Poland, Lithuania and France, using rich iconography and unique archival materials from the collections of TVP, WFD and the private archive of the composer's family. Wanda Bacewicz talks about her extremely talented sister. In addition, the film will include excerpts from anniversary concerts dedicated to the composer's memory, held recently at the PR Concert Studio in Warsaw.
Andrzej Stasiuk invites you along with him to Albania, speaking of his world, the human condition, and literature.
Before the war, there were 130 cottages in Wołowiec. Today, only eight remain. However, this dying village is not doomed to extinction—a completely new, ninth house is being built there. It is being constructed with the help of neighbors by a man known as "the pig," a traitor and a deserter. A traitor because he uprooted himself, a deserter because he abandoned his native Warsaw and moved to the countryside, claims poet Marcin Świetlicki. This is a misunderstanding, retorts the film's protagonist.
Two young aspiring filmmakers, director Jaco and cameraman Pablo, travel from Katowice to Warsaw. During their journey, they talk about life and movies.
