NEW TRAILER
Pomeranian Tale
A new documentary project supported by the Ministry of Culture in Poland and Marshall of West Pomeranian Voivodeship
Stettin isn’t a typical city. With no centre, its wide streets have no destination. Just like a tourist, the urban identity seems to be lost and suspended somewhere between German and Polish heritage. What if the Pomeranian Tale isn’t hidden in the shadow of Polish-German oaks though, but in the scanty shade of Brazilian palm trees?

TRAILER
Beyond the Bug River
A documentary about women on both sides during Polish-Ukrainian conflict at the WWII time.
A socio-cultural project in which the author seeks out and attempt to understand her family roots. Indeed, in Szczecin, many residents can trace their ancestry to the present-day Ukraine. And so her ancestors arrived in the Recovered Territories, following the ethnic cleansing and the exile of Poles from the area of Wołyń in the 1940s. Those were terrible times, yet they are seldom remembered and discussed.
