It's Maria, who lives alone but does not let solitude transform into sadness. The camera accompanies her in everyday activities, words, songs. Maria is old and wise. She neglects nothing that she can still take care of in her life.

Odchod na korze / The Stop on Main Street
Production: Slovakia 2013A documentary not necessarily about an Oscar-awarded film, but rather about what happened after the fact. The camera follows the people, places, adventures, and feelings accompanying that production: The shop on Main Street from 1965. The Czechoslovakian film made cinema history as the first central-European film to win an Academy Award. One of its stars was Ida Kamińska – Polish, Jewish, and international actress and theatre director. The nostalgically black-and-white documentary The stop on Main Street returns to the atmosphere of The shop on Main Street, also appreciating those who couldn't play in the Oscar-winning film due to important life matters.

Production: Poland 2013Somewhere near a beautiful forest there are leisurely but careful preparations taking place. Festive outfits, tables being covered by sheets, a vase of fresh flowers from the field or the woods. Someone is dusting, a clock is ticking, beautiful weather, woods, fairytale serenity. Time goes by. Dressed in their best, the people wait. The documentary was shot in Sokole, in a nursing home on the Polish-Belarusian border.

Swallow
Production: UK / Scotland 2013In this film, food (which seems to be something specific and down-to-earth on a day-to-day basis) gains an entirely different meaning than satisfying one of life's most basic needs. The footage of food, caught on 8- and 16-mm tape, evokes memories and emotions. Personal stories told by various voices are imposed on the different shots, also including food, and merged by the narrators' memories. A multi-layered story created this way is simultaneously existential and emotional.
