Czarna Bandera / Black Flag
Production: Poland 2014Szczecin. A fragment of a transportation artery, an unfinished ramp for pedestrians. The construction came to a halt mid-process, not allowing for the flow of people and energy. This resulted in the construction becoming independent of the main overpass. The excluded space became shelter for excluded people. The homeless have adapted the construction; now, with Artur Rozen, they are “rejuvenating” the site. They are marking it with black, the symbol for eclipse. Black is not considered a colour but rather the the lack of it, the colour of emptiness. The line of narration speaks of the life of pirates of the 18th century, which was full of freedom but also exclusion. Despite the passing of time, certain aspects of life seem to overlap with the conditions in which modern “street folk” end up living. These similarities remind of the struggle that the homeless face everyday.

Pan Ciasteczko / Mr. Biscuit
Production: Poland, 2014Mr. Biscuit is Krzysztof Kraśniewicz, a citizen of the city of Szczecin, who despite his disablity managed to make his place within the local artistic and cultural circles. It would seem that such a person would require a helping hand, encouragement, and direction, but he has taken his fate into his own hands and found his own way through life, making it more attractive. Krzysztof Kraśniewicz regularly attends most of the city's cultural events, and this consistent presence at premieres, exhibitions, and literary soirees has made him a well-known figure in the local artistic environment. Art and culture are his main passion as well as a recipe for socialising. This sounds lofty, and that is precisely the way it's supposed to sound.
