title: Gardzienice: Expedition to the Ukraine

overview: The Association of Theatrical Practices Gardzienice was founded in 1976 by Wlodzimierz Staniewski in a village near Lublin, which remains the group's headquarters to this day. Staniewski had just finished a five-year period of collaboration with Jerzy Grotowski’s Teatr Laboratorium. The group does create theatrical productions, but its main work is to conduct research into folk culture, as well as ethnic and anthropological studies. Members of the group take part in expeditions. There the shape of future productions is formed, productions which are evolving more and more closely towards modern mystery plays, restoring tragedy from the spirit of music.  In this documentary, the process of the very particular "ethno-theatrical" expeditions that Gardzienice Centre was making in the past is portrayed. It shows the preparation, the way that the interactions with local communities happened, and how the material that was collected later informed them during the creation of performances.

title: Mr. N's Cutouts

overview: The subject of the film is censorship in the broadest sense, and the narrator and guide of this story is the non-existent Mr. N. - a limited, though not humorous dignitary-censor. His inner monologue gives the whole film a certain course, and also "gives credibility" to the statements of artists, critics and officials of the time. In the documentary, almost all the prominent directors, screenwriters and critics of the post-war 50 years speak about artistic freedom and its restriction. We listen to Czesław Miłosz, Jerzy Stefan Stawiński, Janusz Morgenstern, Maria Kaniewska, Kazimierz Kutz, Janusz Głowacki, Feliks Falk, Wojciech Marczewski, Marek Piwowski, Janusz Kijowski, Wiesław Saniewski, Marek Ryszard Groński and Krzysztof Zanussi.

title: Feminine - Masculine Issues

overview: Borzecka made a film about love. In this type of feature film, the characters are usually young, beautiful, and rich, or at least hold two of these characteristics. The heroes of this film are the complete opposite. They are neither young, rich, nor beautiful. At times, however, they become beautiful. With the love that brightens their faces, reduces wrinkles, eradicates years and ailments. It brings joy. It calms anger and despair. Borzecka found her characters in the senior clubs— places where older people, often alone, try to get out of the circle of isolation, have fun, and especially to love and be loved.

title: The Sand is a Predator

overview: In Slowanski National Park, always watch your step. Home to Europe’s largest moveable dunes, this Polish park is renowned for destroying everything in its path. Thousands of years ago, the Baltic Sea formed an enormous dune here. It was then overtaken by forests, which were in turn completely destroyed by fire. Once free from the plants, the sand began to move, and from this point on, nothing was resilient to its whims. Huge piles of quartz devoured forests, lakes, swamps – even human settlements.

overview: A documentary about the re-enactment of the Stanford Prison Experiment - a famous psychological experiment studying human behaviour in prison conditions, conducted in 1971 by Professor Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University in California. In early 2005 the artistic radical Artur Zmijewski took the risk of reconstructing Professor Zimbardo's experiment in Warsaw. He tried to recreate precisely the architecture of the simulated prison and its rules. Seven "prisoners" and nine "guards" were selected in a procedure aimed at eliminating mentally unstable candidates. They were offered $40 a day for their role in the experiment. The rooms were equipped with one-way mirrors, and the course of the experiment was filmed by five man-operated cameras and several night vision-enabled industrial TV cameras. In the process, Zmijewski pierces through societal masks and travels to the heart of mankind, where it is still dark.

The plight of these areas has caused their residents to lose control of their lives and become marooned.

overview: The history of the Wylatowa area is intriguing and fascinating. For six years now people have been gathering there who are convinced of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms regularly visiting our planet. Since the second sign appeared equally a year after the first one, groups of determined ufologists and fascinated people decided to prove that they are or are not a work and a proof of the presence of UFOs. This topic attracted the interest of Maciej Cuske "The film is about one particular enthusiast, ready to give up practically everything to prove that a UFO really exists. It is a documentary about a passion that borders on madness and even leads to loss". - says director Maciej Cuske about his documentary.

title: Music Partisans

overview: The film is in a way the continuation of the previous one entitled „A Lesson of Belarusian”, which showed a protest of young people against the recent fake presidential elections in Belarus. The protest got brutally pacified by militia forces. Despite that, young Belarusians did not give in; they keep fighting the regime. This time they use slightly different methods. Their weapons are music, humour and an ironic distance to the absurd reality. Each form of regime has two sides: the dangerous one and the ridiculous one. “Music Partisans” describes the latter.

title: Explosion of Silence

overview: The film tells the story of deaf soldiers fighting in the Warsaw Uprising. Few people know that a platoon of deaf soldiers fought in the Uprising and suffered no casualties. It is a unique documentary, just as unique as the everyday situation of its protagonists and the special event in which they participated. The film  lifts the veil of mystery that surrounds, for most of us, functioning in a world of absolute silence, where not even the slightest murmur can be heard.

title: Michnik. Be Realist, Wish for the Impossible

overview: Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz tried for many years to make a documentary about Adam Michnik, but Michnik consistently discouraged her from doing so. In the end, he agreed, but made the condition that 'it should not be an interview at all, but a portrait made up of other people's voices'. As a result, closer and distant acquaintances and friends, including Barbara Toruńczyk, Jan Tomasz Gross, Helena Łuczywo, Karol Modzelewski, Kazimierz Kutz and Andrzej Wajda, talk about Michnik. We also observe him through archive materials - when he does not let himself be led out of prison and during his trial in 1984; we see his bitterness during his testimony in the so-called Rywin affair and his humble listening to the miners accusing him of 'destroying Solidarity'.

At present they live all over the world, however, they remember very clearly the figure of their drawing teacher, the inconspicuous man tiptoeing the city streets, who at the same time was a powerful tale-mage spinning a yarn during lessons.

title: Amnesia

type: Poster

overview: The film combines the personal, political, and historical, tracing the horror of a pogrom committed against the Jewish residents of the Polish city of Kielce on the 4th of July 1946. This atrocity was committed by their neighbors, fellow Poles of Kielce. This film seeks to gain some perspective on the Kielce Pogrom, an event that has been all but scrubbed from the history of Poland. The filmmaker searches for answers, even reflecting on his own family's complicity (and perhaps more) in the event. Given the current political climate in 21st century Poland, this film is fiercely relevant today, as we must confront and combat the legacies of anti-Semitism in Europe and around the world.

Often widowed and lonely, they try to find something to do in the spiral of successive days that are no different from each other.

Michał Bielawski, through the prism of official and underground archives, shows the then state of mind of Poles, their fears, hopes and reflections.

overview: Dederko takes a look at a daring idea that Jerzy Czapla, head of the Lodz homeless shelter on Szczytowa Street, came up with. His facility was in urgent need of renovation. To raise funds, he decided to organize an "urban survival" event. Homeless people from the shelter were to show "ordinary" people what their lives were like. They were to be guides who show their "charges" how they struggle to survive on the city streets. The participants of the project had a chance to see what it's like to function in a big city without a roof over their heads, meeting human contempt at every turn.

He traces its evolution from the beginnings of cinema and the works of the Lumière brothers, through the New Wave revolution, to the 21st century 'third cinema' in which anyone can be a filmmaker. It also looks at what kind of cinema is 'born before our eyes'.

overview: In November 1989, an international seminar "Central Europe. Culture at the Crossroads, Between Totalitarianism and Commercialism" and a review of Czechoslovak Independent Culture, which marked the culmination of the activities of the Polish-Czechoslovak Solidarity community and also served as a prelude to the Velvet Revolution in Prague. The long-standing cooperation of the SPCz (and the "Polish-Hungarian Solidarity" established in February 1989) led to the establishment of friendly contacts between the oppositionists of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. After the 1989 transition, they appeared to form new elites in their respective countries. Earlier ties, creating a special political climate, largely helped in the first three years in the close cooperation that resulted in the realization of two major projects - the creation of the Visegrad Triangle and the removal of Soviet troops from the entire Region.

Right now she still lives in a bird cage, at the mercy of the whims of a fate that transported her and her family from Myanmar to a refugee village in the Thai jungle. The rain drums ceaselessly on the roof. The torrential river in front of the house is as powerful as the suppressed feelings of a woman who gave birth to 12 children and lost some of them. She hasn’t chosen her husband; moreover, he sometimes flies away. Now she only hopes that her daughter will follow.

title: Krzysztof Zanussi about his collaboration with Wojciech Kilar

overview: Director Krzysztof Zanussi's collaboration with Wojciech Kilar was a worldwide phenomenon. The artists' paths had already converged in the 1960s, and were not to part until Kilar's death. The composer wrote music to the young filmmaker's debut picture Struktura kryształu / The Structure of Crystals (1969), and Zanussi was so impressed with both the soundtrack and Kilar's understanding and general savvy that he kept submitting his artistic proposals only to him. As a result this outstanding duo completed over forty feature films, as well as documentaries and television works. In a short story by Krzysztof Zanussi we learn more about this unique, long-term cooperation.

title: Towards the Light...

overview: Joanna, brought up by her grandmother in the spirit of Orthodoxy, finished her studies in London and returned to a small town in Podlasie, the place of her birth. She knew she was doomed to an "intellectual desert" here, but she also felt she had a role to play. What role? She calls it a "search for truth". She researches the history of the borderland, her town and the people who once lived here, and these are often dramatic and controversial issues. That is why it is not easy for her. Attempts to get a job at the local school or community center ended in failure. She teaches young people, but she does it as a volunteer. She lives on the borderline between two worlds - the real one where she is still searching for her identity and clashes with the stuffy atmosphere of a small town and the unreal one which no longer exists - the Jews of Krynki whose memory she restores thanks to her voluntary work with the youth of Krynki.

overview: An attempt at a graphic transposition of mental states, behaviors and tensions accompanying everyday attempts at verbal communication between two people.

Words travel along invisible trajectories, often not reaching their recipients, passing each other and losing their way. Repetitions of gestures, words and signals create a kind of mantra of meanings, attempts to define, name and set one's own boundaries of mental independence, which often makes mutual coexistence difficult.

title: Emigranci

title: Emigranci

overview: Teatr Telewizji przenosi na ekran kultową, gorzką komedię Sławomira Mrożka w reżyserii Kazimierza Kutza.  W ciasnej piwnicy na Zachodzie spotykają się dwaj Polacy-emigranci. Jest to zderzenie dwóch różnych światów: intelektualisty i pisarza na dobrowolnym wygnaniu (w tej roli Marek Kondrat) oraz prostego robotnika, który przyjechał za chlebem (w tej roli Zbigniew Zamachowski). Spędzają ze sobą noc sylwestrową, prowadząc pełen napięcia i absurdalnego humoru dialog o wolności, ojczyźnie, ambicjach i pieniądzach.  Spektakl jest wnikliwym i ponadczasowym studium samotności, poczucia wyobcowania oraz niemożności ucieczki od własnej tożsamości. To mistrzowskie przedstawienie relacji między dwoma skrajnie różnymi postaciami, które łączy wspólny los emigranta.

title: Inwazja

overview: A Polish documentary presenting a sequence of hidden-camera footage, interviews and archival clips to depict what it claims is a coordinated campaign by LGBTQ-rights activists to infiltrate and reshape the fabric of society. Against the backdrop of a national election, it suggests that equality marches across Poland are part of a well-funded network, with participants paid to travel between towns and supported by foreign interests. The narrative frames this as a threat to children, religion, family values and the nation’s future. Local authorities and media sympathetic to queer causes are portrayed as complicit, while the movement is likened to propaganda and moral corruption. The film positions LGBTQ activism not as a struggle for rights but as an organized ideological “invasion” seeking to alter traditions, institutions and laws, even implying an intent to normalize paedophilia. Selective imagery and rhetoric turn civil society expression into a supposed existential threat.

title: Marek Biliński: Życie jest muzyką

overview: W filmie przedstawiono historię życia i twórczości Marka Bilińskiego, pioniera polskiej muzyki elektronicznej. Artysta ukończył Akademię Muzyczną w Poznaniu i mimo angażu w tamtejszej orkiestrze symfonicznej zamienił życie filharmonika na niepewny los rockmana. Zafascynowany w latach 70. instrumentami elektronicznymi, które dopiero co wkroczyły do muzyki rozrywkowej, postanowił poświęcić się poszukiwaniu nowych brzmień. Początkowo występował w zespołach rockowych (Heam, Bank) i akompaniował gwiazdom estrady (m.in. Halinie Frąckowiak). W latach 80. rozpoczął karierę solową, stając się błyskawicznie główną postacią nowej sceny. Jego debiutancki album "Ogród króla świtu" zyskał wielką popularność, a instrumentalny utwór "Ucieczka z tropiku" stał się wielkim przebojem, pamiętanym do dziś.
