7th of August
Director of Photography
Poland experienced a homophobic tsunami in 2020. LGBT people, whom the ruling party chose to be the enemy, became the target of an intense campaign of power supported by the church and public media officials. The breakthrough came on August 7 - the day the LGBT community said enough, demonstrating on the streets of Warsaw in defense of one of them - activist Margot. On that day, the power of rainbow solidarity clashed with brutal police aggression. There were high-profile, show arrests, as a result of which 48 participants of the protest were arrested. Among them are the protagonists of Michał Bolland's shocking film - Kajetan, Kamila, Krem and Julia and her partner. Their stories make it possible to understand and feel what price the non-heteronormative part of Polish society pays for homophobia and power transphobia. And what was the situation of the LGBT rights movement? Sometimes called the Polish Stonewall, August 7 may go down in history.
Adam the Apostate
Gaffer
In the realm of contemporary music, Adam “Nergal” Darski surely needs no further introduction. Yet the guitarist and singer has even made inroads into general pop culture and shaped social discourse, all the while not moving away an iota from the underground ethos his ongoing career is based on. Rising from his humble beginnings in Cold-war Poland to global fame with his band Behemoth, striving for musical excellence throughout the ignominies of life-threatening illness and dubious legal battles, staying deeply spiritual and focused during even the most casual appearances in mundane limelight, it is safe to say the 1977-born has many faces, the sum of which defies categorization. Satanist or dexterous money spinner? Academically certified historian or shallow media figure? Inspired and inspiring spokesperson of a generation or mere agent provocateur? Make your guesses...
