Workshop for seniors: Pane Doktore!

Host: Andrej Kolenčík                                                                           7-11.12.2016

Not everyone knows that Dr. House’s father was famous Dr. Štrosmajer – orthopedist in the peripheral hospital in the Czech town of Bor, and his mother – ward sister Danuta Dębska (later Tretter) from the hospital in Leśna Góra, a small town near Warsaw. However, everyone might be interested in the fact that couple met during their studies at the Medical University of Bialystok!

Winner of the Golden Egg Award at Emir Kusturica Küstendorf Film Festival, Andrej Kolenčík together with Bialystok seniors will try to reconstruct this meeting in a short feature film shot in the interiors of the Branicki Palace – Museum of the History of Medicine and Pharmacy at Medical University of Bialystok!
