Opera About Poland – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Pole, who are you? An answer to that question is attempted by this lm collage, which combines archival and modern footage, documentary and staged photos, press coverage, classified ads, sales offers, and fragments of speeches. By referring to the longstanding tradition of Polish creative documentaries as classified by Wojciech Wiszniewski, the film reveals different aspects of Polishness: patriotic and religious rituals, everyday habits, characteristic landscapes, and intimate memories of childhood.
