Superhero in the 18th Hyde Park Reject Film Competition!
Superhero, Directed and cinematography by: Michał Materkowski | Production management: Magda Firszt, Hanna Rusin
Synopsis: Nikodem is humiliated by Igor in front of Maja. Determined to get back at his bully and impress the girl, he sets a bold plan in motion.
Hyde Park is a space for creators who experiment with form and subject matter — making personal, subversive films often full of self-irony and daring ideas. It’s a competition for those who play with cinema and seek new means of expression.
The competition is part of Kameralne Lato, held in Radom from July 7 to 12, 2025.
Only until July 20 – don’t miss the exhibition of the photographic art installation 𝐑𝐘𝐒𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐎𝐖 – 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐒𝐇.
Come and see it with your own eyes!
The exhibition Rust and Ash is a moving reflection by Ryszard Czernow on the transience of matter and the fragility of human civilization. The artist reveals the ongoing physical and chemical transformations that shape the world – regardless of our attempts to stop, protect, or improve it.
Rust and ash become not only symbolic traces of decay, but also metaphors for the forces of destruction – time and fire. The artist poses questions about the limits of permanence, the meaning of preserving traces of existence, and the inevitability of change.
The exhibition by our lecturer, Prof. Ryszard Czernow, PhD from the University of Silesia, is on display at the Schoen Palace – Museum in Sosnowiec, until July 20, 2025.
More information available on the Museum’s website – LINK.
Since the early 1980s, Ryszard Czernow has been actively engaged in creative photography, constantly exploring new means of expression. Recognized as a pioneer in the artistic use of digital techniques in photography, he is also the author of the term cybergraphy, which defines an original trend combining visual art with digital tools.
In his work, he focuses on contemporary vanitas symbolism, reflecting on impermanence and the relationship between humans and the surrounding material world – both animate and inanimate. His art is often marked by a deep metaphorical and philosophical dimension.
For many years, he has also worked in graphic design, with a special emphasis on subjective, authorial photography. He has created numerous film posters and, as a director and cinematographer, produced a number of music videos for iconic Polish music groups and artists.
