The Passion of Agnieszka

Poland2025documentary50'National Competition

In the semi-darkness of the editing room, Agnieszka Bojanowska, one of the most outstanding editors in Polish cinema, takes on another creative challenge. At her side, there is Bogdan Dziworski, an image master and her long-time artistic partner. Together, they have created films that have gone down in the history of documentary cinema. The camera takes a peek behind the scenes of their work, observing not only the technique but also the tender bond between the two artists. It is a meeting of strong personalities, where agreement is not always easy to reach. Although they are aware of the passing of time, their project is not a farewell but a tribute to cinema and a passion for creation.
