Macbeth

King Macbeth wounded escapes his final battle.

He'll not have much time to repent for his sins or reflect on his deeds.

He's being followed by Macduff, who is not going to rest until he kills him.

Blak - Take Me Home

This is a story of Piotr's longing for his father Zbigniew Blak (1942-1994). The video conatins original rare 8mm footage shot in early '70s, when Piotr's dad asked his companions to film himself in the mountains and is a very valuable memory of this amateur filmmaker. The projector we filmed and the equipment are things Piotr has inherited after him.

Anti Human Trafficking Campaign

Polska Fundacja La Strada w 2014 udzieliła wsparcia 207 osobom, z czego 143 kobietom i 64 mężczyznom, 34 nieletnim, co stanowi nieco ponad 1% ludzi pokrzywdzonych pochodzenia Polskiego. Tak trudna jest to praca, m. in. z powodu braku świadomości społecznej i przygotowania odpowiednich służb. Z wywiadów przeprowadzonych w czasie imprez masowych wśród młodzieży wynika, że około 95% nastolatków jest całkowicie nie odpornych na przynęty handlarzy ludźmi. Z tych i wielu innych powodów postanowiliśmy wesprzeć naszą filmową pracą działania Fundacji.

Według raportu UNDOC z 2011, wśród wykrytych ofiar handlu ludźmi 49% to kobiety, 18% mężczyźni, 21% dziewczynki, 12% chłopcy. Jeśli chodzi o formy wyzysku 53% stanowi prostytucja i pornografia i inne formy seksualnego wykorzystania, 40% to praca przymusowa, niewolnictwo i poddaństwo, 7% inne formy wyzysku, z czego 0.3% to handel organami, szybko rozwijająca się gałąź handlu ludźmi.

Ilość niewolników na świecie szacuje się między 21 a 37 milionów. Każda z tych historii jest inna i każda jest ogromną tragedią ludzkiego istnienia.

Green Box Poland

It's already have been five years that I'm lucky to cooperate on some of my major projects with my great friend Miguel Gaudencio and the Green Box Poland production company. The website for the company has been recently refurbished and a lot of new films are being developed now with the team.

Current Frame

Piotr is my uncle. And undoubtedly one of my greatest heros. He's an inspiration to people around him. He's been living without kidneys for 36 year now. 3 times a week, 5h each, he's been spending connected to machines. And then he says: "I can't complain". He spends his life actively, shaping his fate, enjoying work and family. He's loved. And full of love. And this is why I've just starded to shoot a documentary. I hope to share and spread his inspiring powers.

Bangistan

Current Frame

It's been a few months already, since May, that we've shot a documentary in the Bieszczady Mountains, Poland about... let's call him: "a horse whisperer". It's entirely independent and self-founded production by myself and my dear friend Andrzej Ripper, and as such it was waiting a bit for it's editing time. The project follows the path of our meditative shorts of The Silence I & II, however now we went for the storytelling. Hopefully, paralell to it's postproduction, we'll alrady be shooting our next film about another man and his bond with the Holy Mother Nature, as we call her.

The Growth of Middle Ages

There is a fast growing medieval reconstruction movement across all the world. This is called "experimental archeology" and it combines both amazing passion for historical research as well as extreme fight sports. Last year 25 nations met fighting during 2013 edition of "Battle of the Nations" - an annual medieval chamionship.

This year at least two major, international events will take place - BNF in Chroatia, June, and Castillo de Belmonte at the beginning of May.

Except for produciong a shoot of the Battle of the Nations 2012 in Warsaw in cooperation with SPI, which is now on a market as a sport tv series, I was happy to be invited to Aigues-Mortes last year, where the clip above comes from.

The clip promotes both all the movement as such, yet is specially oriented for Polish Medieval Combat Team raising funds to go to the Championships this year.

Shoud you like to support one of the best teams in the competitions, please visit their fundrising site.

Other than that I was happy to shoot a part tv series directed by Lisette Marcotte for Quebecan production company Zone 3. The shoot took place in Arundel Castle, England and Wolin, Poland, and this is where the screens come from:
