III

Poland 2018, 12’

The third part of the “Figury niemożliwe i inne historie” triptych. A woman and a man meet in a waiting room and bond instantly. He helps her to remove her fur, she’s naked underneath. So starts the game of mutual seduction and exposure, which becomes more and more brutal with time. “III” is the portrait of a woman in an exhausting relationship with a man, one which equally attracts and repels.

The year is 1410 and one of the greatest battles of Medieval Europe is approaching. The tensions between the Kingdom of Poland and the Teutonic Order reach their peak. A knight and his squire respond to King Władysław Jagiełło’s call and cross the Polish lands to arrive at the fields of Grunwald. Humour is interwoven with history, social commentary and the tale of… Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

A diary of a person consuming far too much… sweet carbonated drinks. A documentary and an romantic comedy in one.

The life of a farmer named Wojtek and his next-door neighbours as seen through the eyes of a Swiss director. Ever since he was a child, Wojtek has been working on the farm, not losing his joy of life, warmth, and sense of humour. His grand house is always open to guests thirsty for companion and friends looking for help. One guest is Paweł, an alcohol addict and a homeless man. Wojtek tries to take care of him.

Krzyżoki

Poland 2018, 20’

Easter Sunday celebrations are in progress somewhere near Opole. Although there are almost no horses left in the village, the farmers rent them to embark on the traditional border tour of the fields around the village, one taking many hours. On their way the villagers pray and sing pious songs. When they stop – they rest, eat and drink alcohol. Tiredness and inebriation mix with religious exultation. Sacrum and profanum in one.

Sen Leocadii
director: Krzysztof Nowicki
director of photography: Xavier Casas
music: Julita Hoffmann
Poland 2017, 18’

Leocadia, the main character, has been running a small family music shop on Las Ramblas for many decades. The camera observes the last, very difficult, months of her work as her shop is to be closed down. The shop sells classical music albums on vinyl. She begins to throw away her old records, leaving them on benches along Las Ramblas as she takes her beloved little dog for a walk. By leaving the records, she leaves traces of her past behind.
