The Wave of Things
“Polish Coldwave Journey” has the taste of a holiday adventure, but before everything else it is an important and unique documentary film about the contemporary Polish coldwave. The premiere of this film will be very soon. For this occasion I had a talk with the father of this idea –

Many people I asked during my trip through Poland, what they think about their capital Warszawa. The answer was mostly not so nice. Perhaps, it is the general dislike of one’s capital city, like Austrians complain about Vienna and Germans about Berlin. However, this was already my second time in
After the many tourists in Gdańsk it is relieving to spend some days in a smaller city. For a long time Toruń was on my list of cities I wanted to visit. From the train station it was at first not so easy to find the centre. It took some
