"An experimental film based on a poem by Wisława Szymborska."

2014-01-01 en 5m
An experimental film based on the poem "People on the Bridge" by Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska and narrated by Beata Pozniak. The film focuses on the poem's original inspiration, a 19th century Japanese woodblock print entitled People on a Bridge by Hiroshige Utagawa. Six figures are caught in the middle of an old wooden bridge during a sudden rainstorm. As the people run to seek shelter, the drama of this moment in time is captured in the poetry as both frozen and infinitely fluid.
