How do you think your film relates to the NBFF 2022 Theme 'Dancing Around the World'?
The film is produced by the internationally renown dance company. The mountain landscape which appear in the film os more than a background, as the films interpretative code concerns a strong bonds between man and nature. Thus, although it was filmed in specific location of Izerskie Mountains in Poland, conveys an universal meaning.
What do you hope to communicate with our audience through your work?
The project was inspired by sculptures by Stanisław Szukalski. In the works of this artist, who causes strong emotions, the motif of the human body appears; one can see muscle tension, movement, gesture and expression. The sculpture is made of earth, of nature, of which man is a part - this was the interpretive code of the project.
