A Propósito de Willer

In this short, Willer’s poetic images and his voice dress the streets, the skies, the avenues. Here is Willer, the great poet and living legend of the sixties generation, in front of the camera, letting us into his universe, which Priscyla Bettim & Renato Coelho approach as a poetic encounter, in which experimental cinema becomes a powerful catalyst for his poetry. From an erotic and personal approach, the filmmakers give substance to what Willer states...or perhaps it’s the reverse: it is the images that coexist freely with the sound field of words and music.

A Redação

Total Filmification

Leon Bukowiecki is an extremely colourful personality of the Polish film milieu. A well-known and distinguished critic, one of the founders of the Film Weekly, creator of the Film Discussion Clubs, and a great lover of cinema, he talks about how, as a child, he was bitten by the X Muse bug and devoted his entire life to it, watching an average of 4-5 films a day. Good and bad films - because he felt obliged to watch the worse ones too. This meant that, years later, he could proudly describe himself as the 'most filmic' man among those he knew.

Buttes Monteaux 3

A stroll through a virtual edifice. Norman Leto develops here his interest in the computer-based construction of virtual worlds, blending the real and the imaginary. The interiors of the building merge hotel, exhibition and residential functions and have been modelled on those which exist in reality. However, among real objects there are some that belong exclusively to the virtual world. Sterile hotel lavatories host small shapes – the so-called “delegates”, i.e. units of artificial intelligence whose computer-controlled movements correspond to social processes translated to the language of mathematics. Some of the individuals in the group of “delegates”, however, are not fit to live in society – they function against the mathematical rules and generate chaos within the community.

My Dad, Maciek

Maciej Szumowski was a journalist, reporter, documentary filmmaker, opposition activist, film director, publicist, editor-in-chief of "Gazeta Krakowska", creator of the so-called "school of television documentary", co-founder of independent television, laureate of the Boleslaw Prus Award and two-time winner of the Golden Screen Award. The film "My Dad Maciek" was made by his daughter, Malgorzata Szumowska. From fragments of the author's memoirs, archival materials and accidentally recorded situations, a picture is formed of a very modest man, not chasing cheap acclaim or fame, a man always looking for the truth, unflinchingly honest, sensitive to human injustice, involved in the struggle for freedom and justice.
