Mateusz Wróbel is a certified Polish philologist. Several years ago, he quit teaching and opened a shoemaking workshop at the old train station in Czechowice-Dziedzice. This year, Mateusz awaits the birth of his son, which becomes a pretext for many conversations with his customers—about shoes, poetry, and life.
The Mime and His Granddaughter, Director: Jan Seraphim | Cinematography: Maria Majerczyk | Production Management: Gabriel Banaszczyk, Hanna Rusin, Małgorzata Desput
As a young man, Bogdan left Poland after tragic events when his father was murdered by the militia. He settled in France, where fate led him to the Paris school of mime run by the legendary Marcel Marceau. Recognizing Bogdan’s talent, Marceau appointed him his assistant. After a successful career abroad, Bogdan returned to his hometown of Bolesławiec to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. There, he discovered the stage talent of his six-year-old granddaughter, Blanka, and decided to pass on his knowledge and experience to her, beginning her mime training.
The 10. Dolnośląski Festiwal Filmowy „Złoty Samorodek” 2025 will take place on September 26–28 in Złotoryja.
Congratulations to all the creators!
