Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski\u2019s nonfiction films don\u2019t merely observe; they lean forward, they inquire, they connect. Often it\u2019s the director doing the asking and connecting, whether it\u2019s with his Warsaw neighbors or his own father, the Oscar-nominated Polish master Marcel \u0141ozi\u0144ski. At other times there are proxies, as with the incisive therapist in You Have No Idea How Much I Love You,<\/em> or subjects leading one another down revealing pathways of conversation in Chemo<\/em> and Birthplace. <\/em>These engagements, inquiries, and seemingly casual encounters are energized by the filmmaker\u2019s formal rigor: defining compositional frameworks, adherence to conscribed locations, set durational parameters. Yet these films are anything but clinical or predetermined. His practice assumes limitations and imperfections that can be accepted, fought, or worked around\u2014like how one might (and probably ought to) approach other humans, and much like how \u0141ozi\u0144ski himself treats the people in his films.  <\/p>\n\n\n

His latest, The Balcony Movie,<\/em> both exemplifies and distills his methods and tendencies after 30 years of filmmaking. Curious about the people who passed below his balcony in Warsaw, and intrigued by how a camera might encourage connections, he spent a year filming his encounters with neighbors and strangers. He\u2019s not a voyeur, nor is he a street reporter with an agenda\u2014he calls out to them, hoping they\u2019ll stop and respond and share something about themselves. He never ventures beyond the balcony, which serves as both a barrier and catalyst for deeper connections. The film won the Grand Prix\u2013Semaine de la Critique at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival and received its New York premiere at MoMI\u2019s First Look Festival earlier this year. It is Academy Award\u2013eligible in the feature documentary category. This weekend-long retrospective showcases eight of \u0141ozi\u0144ski\u2019s nonfiction films, including his fascinating collaboration with Marcel, Father and Son,<\/em> as well as his father\u2019s How It\u2019s Done<\/em>(2006), all presented by the filmmaker in person.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2021, 100 mins. In Polish with English subtitles. Filmed before the pandemic yet prescient about our collective craving for connection in isolation, Pawe\u0142 Lozinski\u2019s quietly revelatory documentary was shot entirely from his balcony in Warsaw. Elevated from the street and armed with just his camera and boom mic, Lozinski engages strangers and friends, old couples and young mothers, commuting workers and ex-convicts, in philosophical queries that evolve, over many months, into confessions, course corrections, and complicated relations, offering a cumulative portrait of the struggles and moods of the times while exemplifying the humanist curiosity and formalist rigor of the unseen director behind the camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birthplace<\/strong> 
Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 1992, 47 mins. Lozinski\u2019s first major work follows Henryk Greenberg, a Polish-born American who lost much of his family in the Holocaust, as he returns to the village of his childhood. Visiting locations where his father and younger brother were seized and subsequently murdered, Greenberg encounters former neighbors who claim to have little memory of what transpired. But soon their recollections come more easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Way It Is<\/strong> 
Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 1999, 58 mins. In and around his own apartment in Warsaw, \u0141ozi\u0144ski explores a year in the lives of his neighbors, particularly Wiesio, a former caretaker who lives in a makeshift hovel next to the garbage disposal. He lives off a disability pension and makes ends meet by digging through the neighborhood disposals. Respectfully attentive and crafted with both affection and honesty, the film is an aching portrait of loneliness and of lives too often rendered invisible by changing times.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2002, 20 mins. This is an intimate portrait of the filmmaker\u2019s own cleaning lady, a single mother who left her native Ukraine seeking a better life. She labors, sings, takes Polish lessons from \u0141ozinski, for whom she consents to be filmed, radiating good humor, endurance, and unguarded melancholy. <\/p>\n\n\n

Dir. Marcel \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2006, 90 mins. Piotr Tymochowicz, a media advisor to some of Poland\u2019s top politicians, thinks that anybody can be molded into a charismatic leader. To prove it, he puts out a call for neophyte applicants for political candidacy, and hundreds apply. He selects a small group for training, which Polish Master Lozinski follows for three years. The result is a dynamic, entertaining, and implicitly damning snapshot of opportunistic, all-too-familiar reductive populism in action.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the father it\u2019s a journey into the past, between two home cities; for the son it\u2019s an attempt at connection, a critical review of their often difficult relationship. What had been planned as their first-ever collaborative film\u2014both wield cameras during the trip\u2014fell apart in the edit, resulting in two separate films utilizing the same footage.

Often it\u2019s the director doing the asking and connecting, whether it\u2019s with his Warsaw neighbors or his own father, the Oscar-nominated Polish master Marcel \u0141ozi\u0144ski. At other times there are proxies, as with the incisive therapist in You Have No Idea How Much I Love You, or subjects leading one another down revealing pathways of conversation in Chemo and Birthplace. These engagements, inquiries, and seemingly casual encounters are energized by the filmmaker\u2019s formal rigor: defining compositional frameworks, adherence to conscribed locations, set durational parameters. Yet these films are anything but clinical or predetermined. His practice assumes limitations and imperfections that can be accepted, fought, or worked around\u2014like how one might (and probably ought to) approach other humans, and much like how \u0141ozi\u0144ski himself treats the people in his films. \nHis latest, The Balcony Movie, both exemplifies and distills his methods and tendencies after 30 years of filmmaking. Curious about the people who passed below his balcony in Warsaw, and intrigued by how a camera might encourage connections, he spent a year filming his encounters with neighbors and strangers. He\u2019s not a voyeur, nor is he a street reporter with an agenda\u2014he calls out to them, hoping they\u2019ll stop and respond and share something about themselves. He never ventures beyond the balcony, which serves as both a barrier and catalyst for deeper connections. The film won the Grand Prix\u2013Semaine de la Critique at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival and received its New York premiere at MoMI\u2019s First Look Festival earlier this year. It is Academy Award\u2013eligible in the feature documentary category. This weekend-long retrospective showcases eight of \u0141ozi\u0144ski\u2019s nonfiction films, including his fascinating collaboration with Marcel, Father and Son, as well as his father\u2019s How It\u2019s Done(2006), all presented by the filmmaker in person. \nThe Balcony MovieFriday, Dec 2, 2022 at 6:30pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomWith Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski in personTICKETS\nDir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2021, 100 mins. In Polish with English subtitles. Filmed before the pandemic yet prescient about our collective craving for connection in isolation, Pawe\u0142 Lozinski\u2019s quietly revelatory documentary was shot entirely from his balcony in Warsaw. Elevated from the street and armed with just his camera and boom mic, Lozinski engages strangers and friends, old couples and young mothers, commuting workers and ex-convicts, in philosophical queries that evolve, over many months, into confessions, course corrections, and complicated relations, offering a cumulative portrait of the struggles and moods of the times while exemplifying the humanist curiosity and formalist rigor of the unseen director behind the camera. \nBirthplace + SistersSaturday, Dec 3, 2022 at 1pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomTICKETS\nBirthplace Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 1992, 47 mins. Lozinski\u2019s first major work follows Henryk Greenberg, a Polish-born American who lost much of his family in the Holocaust, as he returns to the village of his childhood. Visiting locations where his father and younger brother were seized and subsequently murdered, Greenberg encounters former neighbors who claim to have little memory of what transpired. But soon their recollections come more easily. \nPreceded by Sisters Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 1999, 12 mins. \u0141ozi\u0144ski\u2019s celebrated, delicate study of familial love centers on a single walk made by two elderly sisters inside their city\u2013 block\u2019s courtyard. From envy to the need for control, Sisters celebrates love and companionship while remaining attentive to its pains. \nThe Way It Is + The Ukrainian Cleaning LadySaturday, Dec 3, 2022 at 2:30pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomTICKETS\nThe Way It Is Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 1999, 58 mins. In and around his own apartment in Warsaw, \u0141ozi\u0144ski explores a year in the lives of his neighbors, particularly Wiesio, a former caretaker who lives in a makeshift hovel next to the garbage disposal. He lives off a disability pension and makes ends meet by digging through the neighborhood disposals. Respectfully attentive and crafted with both affection and honesty, the film is an aching portrait of loneliness and of lives too often rendered invisible by changing times. \nPreceded by:The Ukrainian Cleaning Lady Dir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2002, 20 mins. This is an intimate portrait of the filmmaker\u2019s own cleaning lady, a single mother who left her native Ukraine seeking a better life. She labors, sings, takes Polish lessons from \u0141ozinski, for whom she consents to be filmed, radiating good humor, endurance, and unguarded melancholy. \nHow It\u2019s DoneSaturday, Dec 3, 2022 at 4:15pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomTICKETS\nDir. Marcel \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2006, 90 mins. Piotr Tymochowicz, a media advisor to some of Poland\u2019s top politicians, thinks that anybody can be molded into a charismatic leader. To prove it, he puts out a call for neophyte applicants for political candidacy, and hundreds apply. He selects a small group for training, which Polish Master Lozinski follows for three years. The result is a dynamic, entertaining, and implicitly damning snapshot of opportunistic, all-too-familiar reductive populism in action. \nChemoSunday, Dec 4, 2022 at 1:00pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomTICKETS\nDir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2009, 58 mins. Through a series of close-ups that anticipate Lozinski\u2019s You Have No Idea How Much I Love You, Lozinski captures patients in an oncology clinic where they receive chemotherapy. The context and location engender profound reflections and wide-ranging conversation, each frame teeming with life, light, and humor. \nFather and SonSunday, Dec 4, 2022 at 2:30pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomTICKETS\nDir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2013, 56 mins. Two acclaimed documentary filmmakers, Marcel and Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski, go on a road trip from Warsaw to Paris. For the father it\u2019s a journey into the past, between two home cities; for the son it\u2019s an attempt at connection, a critical review of their often difficult relationship. What had been planned as their first-ever collaborative film\u2014both wield cameras during the trip\u2014fell apart in the edit, resulting in two separate films utilizing the same footage. This searching, forgiving, and entertaining dual portrait is Pawe\u0142\u2019s version. \nYou Have No Idea How Much I Love YouSunday, Dec 4, 2022 at 4:00pm ETLocation: Bartos Screening RoomTICKETS\nDir. Pawe\u0142 \u0141ozi\u0144ski. 2016, 80 mins. Lozinski\u2019s unwaveringly intimate work documents a triangular psychotherapeutic encounter between a daughter, Hania; a mother, Ewa; and a therapist, Bogdan. Focused on one face at a time, mining every utterance for revelation, and every expression for what lurks behind the words, Lozinski witnesses resistance and progress, trauma and enduring love.
