“An experimental film based on a poem by Wisława Szymborska.”
An experimental film based on the poem "People on the Bridge" by Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska and narrated by Beata Pozniak. The film focuses on the poem's original inspiration, a 19th century Japanese woodblock print entitled People on a Bridge by Hiroshige Utagawa. Six figures are caught in the middle of an old wooden bridge during a sudden rainstorm. As the people run to seek shelter, the drama of this moment in time is captured in the poetry as both frozen and infinitely fluid.
