About this Event
Programme:
18:30 Screening of Ashes by Name is Man (pl. Popiół imieniem jest człowieka)
"I read in the writings of one painter that, for him, the Polish landscape seems to constantly draw our gaze to the ground, making us look not over the horizon but under our feet, at the bones buried beneath each step.
The film shifts between a portrait of my eighty year old grandparents and my view on the elements and imagery of the national-Catholic narrative in the Polish landscape.The title “Ashes by name is man” is borrowed from a church notice board in Nowa Grobla, in Roztocze. At the centre of my explorations is the rage of hills Roztocze, while Krakow and Lviv form the boundaries of the area in which I was shooting."
19:00 Talk and Q+A (online)

Through experimental film possibilities and the complexity of image and sound, she develops her own language that goes beyond words and seeks emotional directness.

Rosińskas works have been shown at international festivals, museums and art institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, International Film Festival in Rotterdam. Her recent film "Unstable Rocks" premiered at doc lisboa international film festival 2024, followed by the international premiere at CPH:DOX, New:Vision Competition 2025 and was nominated for the Doc Alliance Award.
