A portrait of three women of different ages who work together. Sorting coal in the Rydultowy Hard Coal Mine is a tough job, but the heroines are examples of fortitude. Unfortunately, their daily struggles are not limited to moving raw materials, but also concern the most mundane matters - such as fighting with mining officials over cleaning toilet cabins. Sometimes their only weapon turns out to be a sense of dignity and an equally important sense of humor.

The 1980s Poland was a country of empty stores and long lines of people, standing all night and day to buy virtually anything. This film takes a look at such a gigantic queue and recreates its surreal dialogues and atmosphere.

Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz directed this insightful TV documentary (2005) tracing the Polish filmmaker's career. Former classmates reminisce about Kieslowski's happy beginnings at the Lodz film school and how his dissatisfaction with some of his early documentaries prompted the dramatic work and stylistic experimentation that led to his monumental series of films The Decalogue (1989). Wim Wenders, Agnieszka Holland, and Juliette Binoche are among the many admirers weighing in on his hard-driving work methods and preoccupation with the ephemeral. In Polish, French, and German with subtitles.

?

A documentary, focusing on foreign successes of the Polish Master of the cinema - Andrzej Wajda. By using unique archival materials, home videos, fragments of his films - never shown before we would like to create a documentary about the great director who inspired a whole generations of filmmakers - including Martin Scorsese, Nikita Michałkow, Volker Schlondorff. The film will be based on the interviews with many outstanding creators of world cinema as well as the memories of his wife Krystyna Zachwatowicz. We want to reach the unknown foreign archival materials regarding Wajda, photos from the film set and festivals, as well as his personal journal notes from these events.

?

A biographical documentary on Edward Zebrowski, a director, screenwriter, and educator. The film draws from his notes, revealing his thoughts on illness and history as human fate. Friends from the Film School in Lodz and the TOR Film Group, including Wojciech Marczewski and Agnieszka Holland, discuss his legendary status as a scandalmonger and thinker. His wives, Barbara Lisowska and Magdalena Jaworska, share intimate details of his life. Students Agnieszka Smoczynska and Adrian Panek speak respectfully of him. Zebrowski’s biography is complemented by excerpts from his school works and original films, with scenes featuring him in Zanussi’s films like “The Illumination.” Directed by Maria Zmarz-Koczanowicz, the documentary captures a reflective and nostalgic atmosphere, reflecting Zebrowski’s mature life and sense of lost opportunities.

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'.

When, a dozen years ago, domestic music critics anxiously watched the conquest of the music market by songs of the italo disco genre, they did not expect that in just a few years a much worse mutant - disco-polo - would be born in Polish popular music. It all started at village weddings and parties, where local bands, having gotten their hands on a synthesizer, would serenade guests to dance.

Did the 1989 revolution in Central Europe devour its children? This question is answered by representatives of the anti-communist opposition from Warsaw, Prague, Budapest and Berlin. The documentary shows images of the upheaval, with songs by Jacek Kaczmarski, Jaroslaw Hutka and Wolf Biermann as a backdrop.

?

With the emergence of techno music, a new lifestyle and way of spending free time was born, and discos gave way to clubs. Fans of this music, who seek an everyday escape from reality in techno and related trends (trance, trans energy, house, progressive house, badboybreaks, drum-bass, and many others), a way to manifest their separateness from the adult world, to break out of the prevailing patterns, call themselves new hippies.

?

A subjective look at the city through the eyes of its inhabitants: artists, intellectuals, but also so-called ordinary people. Each of the characters portrayed "his Warsaw," so the film includes a wide variety of places - both generally known and those known to a few, both beautiful and well-kept, as well as those that arouse dislike.

A documentary film featuring the profiles of six young people living in Poland. They are united by their age. The protagonists of the film are a young farmer, an unemployed graduate of Foreign Trade, a feminist, a young politician active in the Green Party 2004. We also meet a writer writing anti-consumerist novels, a graphic designer working as a producer of photo shoots (known for her popular blog on the web). The authors of the film for several months accompanied them at work, moments of entertainment, meetings with friends, we see their joys and sorrows.

?

A biographical portrait of Leszek Kolakowski, an outstanding philosopher and historian of ideas, certainly the most respected contemporary Polish intellectual in the world. It is a cinematic story of his ideological and personal life until 1968 (that is, the date of his departure from Poland).

?

On January 30, 1968, the staging of "Dziady", directed by Kazimierz Dejmek, was taken off the billboard of the capital's National Theater. Warsaw students protested against the decision of the highest party and state authorities - after all, it was not made independently and courageously by censors from the nomen omen Mysia Street - by convening a rally at the monument to Adam Mickiewicz.

Such a film should be made. The phenomenon that is the All-Polish Youth in Poland needs to be analyzed and looked at carefully with the "patient eye" of a documentary filmmaker. Until now, we have only viewed the All-Polish Youth through hurried news or journalistic discussions. Who are the people who make up this organization? What are their motivations? The path of life? What caused them to get involved in social and political activities? These are just some of the questions this film asks to find out the answer to the question of why the idea of a pre-war youth organization has become important and carried in modern Poland. The heroes of the film are both the leaders of this organization and its ordinary members. We want to look at Poland through their eyes. What does it mean for them today to fight for Poland, what does it mean - to be a Pole? How do they want to instill their radical patriotism in others?
