33 Photos From the Ghetto

directed by Jan Czarlewski
screenplay by Jan Czarlewski and Carlotta Verny

In April 1943, Warsaw is burning. The Germans brutally suppress the uprising in the ghetto, turning the entire district into a sea of fire. Amid chaos and death, Leszek Grzywaczewski, a young Polish firefighter, documents the unimaginable - he takes 33 photographs, the only known civilian images of this crime. Eighty years later, his son, Maciej, discovers a forgotten negative and begins an investigation that changes his life. As he uncovers more clues, he comes to know a father he never truly knew - a man entangled in history, a witness to tragedy, a quiet hero, a man who did not look away.

Roma, a survivor of the ghetto, saw these images as a little girl. They never left her. All her life she tried to forget, though she knew it was impossible. Now the photographs return - as testimony that cannot be erased, and as a warning that must not be ignored. This is a film about memory that must not be lost. About a past that is not a closed chapter. About history that has a way of repeating itself when we forget.

Still Human?

directed by Mirosław Bork
screenplay by Mirosław Bork

Eleven-year-old Agnieszka, now an independent adult university graduate, suffered a brain injury in 2003 after falling from a horse. Despite pressure that contradicted both medical procedures and applicable law, her parents refused to consent to a declaration of brain death and the initiation of organ procurement procedures.

Nineteen-year-old Łukasz, now a man in his twenties living with his parents and using a wheelchair, lost consciousness following a car accident, and for many months there was no contact with him. In his case as well, his parents refused to believe that their son “would remain a vegetable.” How could such profound misdiagnoses occur? Is it possible that even in matters of life and death mandatory medical procedures may not be properly followed?

The stories of Agnieszka and Łukasz become the starting point for an in-depth discussion among doctors from Poland and abroad, supporters and critics of contemporary medical practices. Distinguished specialists attempt to determine whether such tragic mistakes result from medical errors and violations of procedure, or whether the very concept of brain death is based on assumptions of an ideological or philosophical nature that are not sufficiently supported by science.

The lives of Agnieszka and Łukasz — both of whom might no longer be alive today — demonstrate that film has both the right and the obligation to ask difficult questions, despite the controversy they may provoke.

List biskupów

directed by Mirosław Bork
screenplay by Mirosław Bork

The year 1965 was a breakthrough for Polish-German relations. During the Second Vatican Council, the Polish bishops sent the Germans their famous message of forgiveness and a request for forgiveness. In Poland, this sparked opposition from the communist authorities and mixed reactions from society, while the German response was rather cold. Nevertheless, the initiative began the process of reconciliation between the two nations. In the following years, it led to political changes, recognition of borders, and the normalization of relations. A symbolic culmination was the Reconciliation Mass in Krzyżowa in 1989.

Independence

directed by Krzysztof Talczewski,
screenplay by Krzysztof Talczewski and Mirosław Bork

“Independence” tells the story of Poland’s road to regaining independence in 1918, the struggle to preserve it, and the building of a modern state during the first years of the Second Polish Republic. The film follows events from the outbreak of World War I, through the participation of Poles fighting on different fronts, the Greater Poland and Silesian uprisings, the Polish–Soviet War, and the diplomatic efforts that led to the rebirth of the Polish state.

Alongside major historical events, the film also portrays the everyday social, economic, and cultural life of the newly reborn Poland — a country rebuilding itself after years of partitions and war. The narrative is guided by witnesses and participants of the events, whose memoirs and testimonies give the story a deeply personal dimension.

The film was created using unique archival footage from the years 1914–1923, sourced from Polish as well as French, German, Russian, American, and Ukrainian archives. Thanks to a multi-year process of digital restoration and colorization, most of these materials were presented to the public for the first time.

The film was produced by MWM Media in cooperation with Telewizja Polsat, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and Filmoteka Narodowa – Instytut Audiowizualny.

Po-Lin: Slivers of Memory

directed by Jolanta Dylewska
screenplay by Jolanta Dylewska

PO-LIN is the Hebrew name for Poland. These words, meaning "here we shall dwell," were said by Jews arriving in our country, fleeing from Germany due to pogroms and epidemics. This is what a 13th-century legend says.

"PO-LIN", a documentary by the acclaimed cinematographer Jolanta Dylewska, is almost entirely based on archival materials—the result of many years of searching around the world. The authors of these unique recordings were Jews who had emigrated to the United States but returned to Poland in the 1930s to visit their relatives. They often brought cameras with them. These amateur films show the everyday life of Jews in pre-war Poland, preserving for us a fragment of history that disappeared forever after September 1939.

Jolanta Dylewska visited 19 locations from which the original recordings came, also finding some of the last living witnesses of that era.

The film’s narration, read in the Polish version by Piotr Fronczewski, was created thanks to the Books of Memory (Sifrei Zikaron), written by survivors. Through painstaking research, using information from these books and the accounts of Polish witnesses who remembered coexistence with Jews, the author managed to identify many of the people appearing in the amateur films.

"Po-lin" is a moving look at a world that has vanished forever, swept away by the turmoil of war. Before the war, 3.5 million Jews lived in Poland—nearly 10 percent of the country’s population. Here they were born and died. They loved, prayed, and suffered. This was their homeland. Po-lin...

War of the Worlds

directed by Mirosław Bork and Krzysztof Talczewski
screenplay by Mirosław Bork

“War of the Worlds” is a documentary film based on reconstructed archival materials from the Polish–Bolshevik War of 1920. The film features archival footage, radio recordings, photographs, military orders, and secret reports sourced from archives in Russia, France, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and the United States.

The film presents not only the Battle of Warsaw, known as the Miracle on the Vistula, but also the broader dimension of the war — the dramatic struggle of the young Polish state against Bolshevik Russia and the clash between two opposing visions of the world: democracy and totalitarianism.

Built around eyewitness accounts and historical documents, the story shows that Poland’s victory was not a miracle, but the result of strategic leadership, intelligence operations, and the determination of soldiers and volunteers.

Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski. A Statesman

directed by Mirosław Bork
screenplay by Mirosław Bork

Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski was one of the greatest architects of modern Poland — an economic visionary, minister, and deputy prime minister of the Second Polish Republic. A legionnaire of Józef Piłsudski and a participant in the Polish–Soviet War of 1920, he became the driving force behind some of the country’s most ambitious projects, including the port of Gdynia and the Central Industrial District, initiatives that continue to shape the Polish economy to this day.

The film tells the story of an extraordinary man who helped rebuild Poland after independence, survived the trauma of World War II, internment in Romania, and the death of his son during the September Campaign. After the war, despite strong opposition from many émigré circles, he chose to return to Poland, convinced that he could still serve his country.

At the heart of the film are the years 1945–1948 — a brief but decisive period that encapsulates Poland’s postwar dilemmas: the hope of rebuilding the nation, the rise of a new political system, and the gradual elimination of independent-minded figures from public life. Despite his unquestionable achievements, Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski was removed from public life and condemned to decades of silence.

This is a story about Poland, the ambition to build a modern state, and the price of remaining independent.
