The Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw was a<br />
despised gift from Stalin. After the system transformation<br />
in Poland some suggested pulling it down. But the<br />
palace is still standing and doing fine, pulsating with the<br />
life of hundreds of offices, hosting a theatre, concert<br />
hall, cinema and even a swimming pool as well as a city<br />
council room. Having already visited a clinic, hospital and<br />
registry office, this time Wolski, with his camera,<br />
enters the building that is a reflection of Poland’s every-<br />
day life and history. The nooks and crannies of the<br />
building make a backdrop for apt and witty observations<br />
as well as an inspiration to more general diagnoses.<br />

paperBox<br />
by Zbigniew czapla<br />
In May 2010, after record rainfall, flash floods broke<br />
embankments of the Vistula near Wilków. Catastrophic<br />
flooding deprived thousands of people of all their<br />
possessions and roofs over their heads. A few weeks later,<br />
Zbigniew Czapla found a box of old photographs in<br />
his family house also ravaged by the elements. The unique<br />
family mementoes left were destroyed by water, mud<br />
and mould. This film is a desperate attempt to keep<br />
memories, reconstruct people and events of the past. An<br />
impression on the transitory nature of memory, inevita-<br />
bility of fading and the destructive force of the elements.<br />
