Ashes by name is man
Ewelina Rosińska
20 min., 2023, Germany, no dialogue
Ashes by name is man (original: Popiół imieniem jest człowieka), a title borrowed from a church notice board in Nowa Grobla, south-east Poland, is an expansive study of the national-Catholic narratives inscribed in the Polish landscape. Shifting between a portrait of the filmmakers’ eighty year old grandparents, and an evocative, musical montage of images of their surroundings, the film creates relationships between landscape, spirituality, ageing and religion.
