    I Was Dreaming About The Journey

    reż. Maja Soś
    Poland / 2023 / 5 min 52 sec

    A film experiment shot on 8 mm film during the director’s first visit to her half-sister, who is thirteen years older than her. The work explores the fragile and shifting process of building a relationship. Through observing the sister’s daily rituals, surroundings, people, and animals, the film reveals an intimate portrait of closeness that emerges not from carefully planned gestures but from simple, shared moments: preparing a meal, watching television, or eating breakfast on a train. It is a subtle study of encounter, where personal longing intertwines with the attempt to understand another person.

    Poland / 2024 / 2 min

    Lezje is a short film with a distinctly avant-garde character, focusing on toxic human relationships – portrayed through an unusual metaphor related to food. The film’s title is a Polish phonetic adaptation of the French word «les yeux» (“eyes”), which may suggest the gaze as a theme, explored through the prism of food and relationships.

    reż. Oliwia Zakrzewska
    Poland / 2024 / 18 min

    In Submarine, director Oliwia Zakrzewska turns the camera on herself and her young son to tell a story of single motherhood. She seeks help in many places — within the healthcare system, her family, the Church, even on Tinder. Yet the walls of the titular submarine close in as that help never arrives. This intimate film is a candid portrayal of loneliness and helplessness, offering an unvarnished look at the everyday reality of motherhood. At the same time, it is a deeply universal portrait of the bond between parent and child — a relationship in which the protagonist still manages to find joy.

    Meander is a poetic short documentary—just two minutes long—that captures the atmosphere of life in Gdańsk’s “falowce,” those iconic undulating housing blocks in Przymorze and Nowy Port. Made by Aleksandra Korpysa and Michał Radoń, the film focuses on the everyday ambiance and mood of these buildings, conveyed through a rhythmic spoken-word narration that gives the piece a deeply personal and emotional quality. Produced entirely without institutional support and conceived as a “micro-adventure,” the creators enjoyed the process of engaging with residents and curious passers-by.

    The Aqualines sonic video is an audiovisual exploration of water and the processes associated with it. Sound artist Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle [BE] created an intimate soundscape, for which Mila Nowacka [PL] composed the visuals. Both artists’ vision revolved around flow, the relationship between air, fluid, and light, and the processes that occur in the depths of both our bodies and our planet. The audiovisual piece attempts to convey the subtlety, delicacy, fragility, and power of nature, of which we are a part.

    Polska / 2025 / 3 min 34 sek

    An experimental 8mm film. This fictionalized narrative, rooted in the personal experience of partial hearing loss, explores the relationship between silence and sound, exposing the oppression of normative hearing and seeking a language beyond the phonocentric order. The work is an introduction to a larger project on audism and sound democracy. Inspired by Sara Ahmed’s concept of the “feminist ear” – listening as an act of resistance against violence and exclusion. The film was created during an artistic residency at ArtInkubator Goyki3 in Sopot.

    The story unfolds in a pastel-colored world, where two rows of identical houses are separated by a street that ends with a massive high-voltage power pole. A family is preparing to celebrate their daughter’s birthday together. The town appears deserted, and the characters are devoid of faces and distinct emotions. The film explores communication—the kind that goes beyond words. In her search for belonging, the main character immerses herself in online forums hidden in the corners of the internet.

    After breaking up with her partner, a mother takes her eight-year-old son on a camper trip. Now these two will be able to start their lives just together. In a patriarchal society, it’s generally the father who takes his son camping or fishing, or the whole family goes on a seaside vacation. It’s very rare for a mother to go on an expedition with her son. The journey is accompanied by very insightful and moving conversations between mother and son and painted landscapes. The roles of mother and son are reversed during this short expedition. It is a road movie that becomes a metaphor for the life of a mother and her child. The story of a beautiful and unique love.
