Fugue for Cello, Trumpet and Landscape
Jerzy Kucia is back after thirteen years of silence with this meditative story in the form of a poetic film based on the relationship between images and music. The film shows the process of evoking feelings and searching for landscape specificity by recounting events which have taken place in the scenery.
Aubade
A black sun rises on Lake Léman. In a surrealist backlit scene, swimmers and birds witness the spectacle of the dawn, hypnotized by the music of a cellist.
Kurgan
The meaning of kurgan is grave. In fact, the deliberately hyper-realistic scene, made with a 3D technique, is permeated by a gravestone-like feeling. In this context, two characters materialize, ghosts or rather likenesses, who are immediately entangled in a fight to the last particle.
Baths
Two old swimmers meet at the public baths for their ritual swimming session. This time they are diving deeper than usual. Baths is a short film about the dynamics of life based on a dualistic philosophy, constantly oscillating between two extremes: fantasy and reality, life and death, body and consciousness, past and future.
On the Other Side of the Woods
A fairy tale full of light, magic and nostalgia. A clay doll awakens in her surroundings, which become a surreal world in a constant flow of change. Shot with natural light, the visible changes of daylight emphasize the passing of time in the film.
Hunger
Everything that is alive is hungry; the seed is hungry for light, the bird is hungry for flight, the man is hungry for the touch of another. The seed of longing grows into what feeds us.
Non-Euclidean Geometry
This is about the laws of love, which are as simple as one, two, three, when we are still in love, but incomprehensible and unexplainable once love retreats. About the logic of the heart, which has nothing in common with the common logic, just like non-Euclidean geometry disproves and surpasses the Euclidean one.
Saint Laszlo against Saint Mary of Egypt
An apocalyptic battle among ravenous monsters, B-series saints, crooked friends, inept godheads, resuscitated punk rockers.
St. Laszlo’s dancing.
Beating and punching.
Black Seed
A middle-aged Siberian man living in a windy steppe, his life suddenly changing due to a strange guest.
Absurdity and realism are combined together in a small wooden cabin where there's no room for hope.
Simulacra
Which image is real – the one staring at us from the mirror or the one standing in front of it? In hallways filled with illusions, a simulacrum behind the looking glass, he is trying to find out if he is looking at a stranger or a hidden part of himself.
