A contemplative journey through the twentieth century, following the era\u2019s most iconic mode of transportation: the train.

The film is composed of more than 550 shots from 46 archives around the world, assembled and edited over a period of 10 years by Maciej Drygas. While it celebrates human ingenuity in the optimistic early days of train development, the film does not shy away from revealing the destructive power of technology when it falls into the wrong hands. This wordless film\u2019s carefully constructed sequence of images evokes an inevitable cycle of delight and destruction, beauty and bitterness. It earned Drygas the Best Film and Best Editing Awards at IDFA 2024.<\/p>\n

Maciej J. Drygas is a renowned film and radio director, screenwriter, producer, and professor at the Polish National Film School in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. His works have received numerous prestigious awards, including the European Film Academy Award for Best Documentary for Hear My Cry (1999).

Maciej Drygas will join us for an introduction and a talk on December 12.<\/strong>
