// OFFICE FOR MONUMENT CONSTRUCTION //
// POLISH EXPRESS //
The film depicts obsessive collecting habits of an elderly
woman who employs absurd methods to obtain artefacts.
In her misguided belief that she preserves these items for
posterity, the film raises oblique questions around collecting
policies of museums.
Poland hasn’t been so popular in the media since ‘89. The reason? Two phenomenons both known as the “Polish express”:
the pace of the new government and a rumor that the Golden
Nazi train exists! Most Poles always believed the train exists.
Now the majority also believes the parliament knows where it’s

The “Seven Summit Run” lasts for 52 hours, during which the
participants cover 240 kilometres through the mountains. The
runners are deprived of sleep and rest, not stopping even to
eat. The film will depict extreme emotions, their struggle with
extreme exhaustion and loneliness.
Kamil Filipek wants to meet his father Ilham Al Madfai, who
is a star of the Arabic folk music in the Middle East. The two
have never met. The director invites viewers to Kamil’s life, to
observe and reflect on the meaning of finding roots. Can those
two cultures coexist together nowadays?
Living without papers turns “illegals” into humans without
rights. The story of Timur and his sick mother is built around
a situation like this. By telling it from a child’s perspective, the
dark story acquires childlike innocence – the story about illegal
immigration becomes an adventure story.
