Winner of the prestigious IDFA Grand Prize, Maciej Drygas’s powerful and haunting TRAINS is crafted entirely from international archive footage. Using sound design and a thoughtful, humanitarian eye it reveals both the joyous anticipation and the profound tragedy associated with 20th century train travel. Everyday moments of commuting and tea-time contrast with the tragedies of wartime and displacement. Without a single word of dialogue it provokes a meditation on history, the power of images and our responsibility to hold them wisely. Trigger warning - contains images of the consequences of warfare
