Andrzej Kondratiuk
The story of a married couple, actress and director, who live in the bosom of nature, in a stream hut, and realize a story about their own lives, thoughts and fantasies. Working on a film is a naive attempt to search for meaning in life.
A filmmaker and his actress wife move into the filmmaker’s cabin in the woods, where they haven’t been for ten years. He sets about filming whatever he can in the area, including an alluring blonde who lives nearby.
A portrait of the director's family painted against a backdrop of changing seasons. A deep reflection on the meaning of existence and the inevitability of passing time and death.
An odd couple of old people lead their simple lives close to nature. The man is an amateur constructor and his goal now is to build a small river dam to produce electricity for his country house.
A ruminative, understated drama on the nature of overwork versus an "unachieving" life away from the city, Pelnia examines the experience of one man. After leaving his high-pressured existence as a successful architect, the newly resolved dropout goes to live in a small community of cabins and summer homes in a lake-filled region north of Warsaw. His interactions with the villagers, including a drunkard and other eccentrics, provide an informative background for what happens next. The ex-architect's wife is a professional singer who has not abandoned the city or her life -- and she soon arrives to spend some time with her very changed husband.
Poetically shown story of love, passion, loyalty, betrayal of trust, and death.
Two simple men win the lottery and decide to spend the money on their first plane flight and some other pleasures. But all that does not bring enough happiness to their lives.
Two guys came to Zakopane to write screenplay and make movie. They are complete amateurs and don't have any ideas. Maybe only one idea is to find actress, but it's not so simple.
An ambitious, enthusiastic young geologist is entangled in bureaucratic red tape when he tries to drill for oil. Frustrated with the situation, he torches an abandoned mill, ignores his girlfriend, and fights with his friends who do not share his exuberance about the project. The feature premiered at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival
The protagonist dreams of a better life, and his dreams take the form of colorful magazines.
A macabre film about the experiences of a client who is shaved by a hairdresser-psychopath.
A film grotesque whose protagonist is a poor clerk lost in the modern world. He buys a trumpet to express his personality via music.
"Waiting for Godot" on ice and snow, without words. Against a barren winter landscape, a figure approaches: it's a man, pulling a small sleigh on which another man sits, plucking a dead bird. They stop to trade places; the one now on the sleigh takes out his knitting. Accidents, misunderstandings, disagreements, and an outright fight await our absurd protagonists as their trip to nowhere continues, first with one pulling, then the other. What if they were to lose the sleigh? What rules of civilization and partnership would guide them then?
The twenty-one-minute-film is set in a men's public rest room and recounts the day to day existence of an elderly woman who serves as an attendant in the lavatory. As an endless procession of men pass before her, relieving themselves in the urinals, the attendant escapes her reality by daydreaming about the past and the soldier she once loved and the child she bore him.
A short Polish black and white silent movie directed by Roman Polański. The film features two men who emerge from the sea carrying a large wardrobe, which they proceed to carry into a town.

Finally, they arrive back at a beach and then disappear in the sea.
