Love in Times of Coal-Based Economy receives a Special mention for the best Croatian minority co-production at Animafest in Zagreb.
From the Jury statement: For its visual coherence and the way it approaches the themes with an aesthetic that helps us understand human warmth in the middle of a cold winter, this film leads us to reflect on the weight of an industrial landscape in our evolution.
Thank you!

Recently we finished the production of my new short film Love in Times of Coal-Based Economy. The film will have its premiere at the upcoming Krakow Film Festival (international competition). The film is a Polish - Croatian co-production. It is a love story based in the 60's, in socialist Poland. It is about a young coal loader madly in love with a beautiful crane operator.
Many thanks to everyone who took part in the project!

My recent collaboration with KakofoNIKT band from Poznań (Poland) - a videoclip to their song "Muchomor".
The word "muchomor" means "fly agaric" in enlish - a mushroom which is a source of Psilocybin - naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug.
This is how the band describes their music:
The Wyraj [‘vi-ray] album harks back to old Slavic mythological motifs describing the sacred effects of entheogens - psychoactive substances, which are understood as a source of a constitutive religious experience. This Slavic thinking about holiness as unity with nature being an interface of the self was confronted with a set of gestures and formulas for the celebration of holiness developed on the basis of Christianity (along with a whole set of infra-quotations from Medieval and early Baroque church music). Christianity, through the remains of the Slavic culture's spirituality poking out of it, has digested itself like a serpent.
On the album we focus on portraying the spiritual exhaustion of the present day, where the group becomes a participant in a new speculative movement, breaking out of a strongly institutionalized distribution of metaphysical knowledge and saturated with the symbolism of rituals.
Psychonauts - new believers - are seeking this zone from before the transformation, a body of authentic experiences to which they sigh in a state of unbearable longing.
Incorporation of the oldest sources of Polish national identity can occur in many different ways, not only those appropriated by nationalistic narratives.

I will be participating in a an international artistic project “Topography of Freedom”. The artists taking part in the exhibition are obliged to interpret one of Franz Kafka’s aphorisms.
Here is my visual interpretation of one of them:
His exhaustion is that of the gladiator after the fight, his work was the whitewashing of one corner in a clerk's office. [Kaiser/Wilkins]
The project curator is Zbignew Bajek.
