documentary
Year of Production: 2023
Country: Poland

A multi-dimensional attempt to delve into the life and touch the mystery of Wojciech Jerzy Has: a visionary, a total artist, a sophisticated stylist, and a creator of worlds. From The Noose to How to Be Loved and The Hourglass Sanatorium, the director's meticulously crafted films exist in their own realm, where the perfection of form meets intellectual depth.

Stanisław Zawiśliński and Sławomir Rogowski, however, trace another side of the director’s personality, one not necessarily visible on the screen: a man practically living in the Wrocław film studio, an eccentric teacher, an artist devoted to his craft, surrounded by a loyal circle of outsiders, a man prone to romances and avoiding the responsibilities tied to family life. The documentary is filled with invaluable interviews, including conversations with Jadwiga Has, Filip Bajon, Gustaw Holoubek, Andrzej Haliński, and Kazimierz Kutz.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director Slawomir Rogowski
