Путешествие вниз по Волге с российским политиком Владимиром Жириновским и его окружением во время предвыборной президентской кампании 1994 года.

Paul Pawlikowski's award-winning documentary on life behind Serbian lines in Bosnia. The film observes the roots of the extreme nationalism which has torn apart a country and provides a chilling examination of the dangerous power of ancient nationalist myths.
Director
This atmospheric and touching story about blind children includes documentary footage made in 1987 at the Centre for the Blind in Laski combined with impressionistic scenes such as those where children touch animals to be able to make their clay models later.
Director
This short impression was made from the film footage which had not been used in the film ‘Hommage à Beksiński’ screened at the Film Festival in Cannes in 1986 and is a product of one artist’s fascination with another artist, outstanding painter Zdzisław Beksiński. It is an attempt to add extra meaning to well-known works by Beksiński using the means of expressions applied in the film. The challenge for the viewer is to discover references.
Director
Szapito is one of the best and most beautiful films about circus artists in the history of Polish documentary cinema. The filmmaker managed to persuade the retired artists of the Szapito group to go back to the circus arena. The spectator knows that the life, characters and their acts recorded on the film stock will soon be gone forever. It is with sympathy and reverie that Dziworski observes this world fade away.
Script
The film is a portrait of Jerzy Orłowski, an armless graphic artist. Impressionistic scenes present the protagonist in various situations: when he has to deal with everyday chores, when he jumps into water, skis and draws. Even the simplest activity requires struggle, resilience and outstanding fitness from him. Many takes are in slow motion, contemplating the smallest detail, which the director is so skilfully able to bring out.

Director
Fencer is a documentary portrait of Władyslaw Kurpiewski, an eminent fencing coach and co-creator of numerous successes of Polish foilists. Combining poetic impression and documentary curiosity, Dziworski draws up a kind of an artistic credo for himself.

Another film about a sports discipline that removes the barrier between the spectator and the participants of the competition. The scenes of ski jumps have gone down in the history of cinema. All of them were made by Adam Krzysztofi-ak, an Olympic Winner.

Franek, a petty criminal and gambler, befriends Rysio, who performs inspections of meat plants. Rysio suspects wrongdoings at the slaughterhouse. Franek, despite his age, cannot find a place in life, with nothing achieved and, what's more, still not knowing what to do.
Director
In his first film about sports Dziworski presented Janusz Pyciak-Peciak before the sportsman became the world and Olympic champion. But Modern Pentathlon is, above all, a little treaty about the physical endurance of man.
Director
It is a film journey tracing the footsteps of a German composer, Georg Philip Telemann, who was appointed a chapel master at the court of Count Erdmann II of Promnitz at Żary where he became fascinated with Polish folk music. The most memorable scene shows the stages of a hot-air balloon ascent. They could be shot thanks to a special camera and an external viewfinder attached to a wide-angle lens.
Director
The lyrical portrait of Szydłów, formerly a town and now a village in the region of Kielce, was yet another step on the filmmaker’s way in search for his own artistic focus and style.

Based on a pre-war murder case of the Malisz couple. They end up committing a petty robbery and a sordid murder. He is an illustrator who is not used by a climbing architect. His folks don't like his wife and keeping both of them around as they float from one petty job to another. They finally try to rob a mailman of a bogus money order they have cooked up and end up killing an old, invalid couple with whom they have roomed.
Director
Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd plays the lead in this short film made on the basis of Stanisław Janicki’s idea. Dziworski managed to capture the appearance and atmosphere of the castle ruins in spectacular scenes and applied an interesting solution for the commentary. The photographs are accompanied by a folk ballad about the castle history performed by the village choir from Iwaniska.
Cinematography
During a trip, middle aged couple realises how disappointing their marriage is.
Director
These striking observations of a skiing competition for children in Zakopane make, at the same time, a little treaty about growing up. Innocent play in snow soon changes into a true competition where only the best can win. Adults get involved in the rivalry between children forcing them to continue gruelling efforts. The sound of a ticking stopwatch is a perfect complement to the story. At the end of the film, one of the boys rebels and leaves the run. He is not interested in the world of adults yet.
