Declaration of Immortality

London Premiere
Marcin Koszalka | | 28 mins

In his new film Marcin Koszałka returns to a forgotten genre, the mountain film. The protagonist of his story is Piotr “Mad” Korczak, and in the background there is his rival Andrzej Marcisz. The director focuses on the decline of the career of the great master, provoking his reflections on his future life, when he will no longer be able to climb mountains. It’s a moving story about the inability to come to terms with old age and the desire for immortality.

Themerson & Themerson

UK Premiere
Wiktoria Szymanska | , , | 52 mins

This sensitive and intelligent documentary shows us two British artists of Polish origin: the late Stefan and Franciska Themerson. He wrote. She painted. Considered significant figures in the avant-garde they produced much original and poetic work that combined humour and absurdity. The span of their artistic experiments covered literature and painting, but also cinema, music and drama. The film is a charming portrait of an exceptionally complementary couple, and their shared passion for life and Art.
