Cool

Poland | 2006 | 14 min

Portrait of Wrocław director Bodo Kox. Happening, which he organized as part of the Actors' Song Review, became a pretext for a wider presentation of his film work.

Talking heads in the dark, in the light

Poland | 2026 | 30 min

A documentary inspired by the films “I Was a Soldier” (1970), “Talking Heads” (1980) directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and the international documentary project of the Good Planet Foundation on the initiative of Yann Arthus-Bertrand “7 billion others” (2003-2016). This is the story of a person's life told by blind and visually impaired people. Like Kieślowski's, the film is black and white and consists exclusively of the statements of characters from school years to a senior woman over a hundred years old.

The exhibition and the meeting are a preview of the 1st edition of Cool Film Fest, which will be held at the Kosmos Cinema on December 11, 2026.
