Passion According to Agnieszka
They say films are made in the editing room, which is why the influence of the editor should never be underestimated. This is certainly true of Polish editor Agnieszka Bojanowska (1932–2019), who left her mark on more than 350 documentaries, feature films, animated works, and experimental projects. She is best remembered, however, for her close collaboration with Bogdan Dziworski, whose award-winning films she helped raise to new heights.
We see the pair in action in Bojanowska’s basement editing room, seated behind screens in the half-darkness. Her critical assessments of the material keep Dziworski constantly on his toes: she expects his work to surprise her every single day. If he fails, it’s rubbish. If he succeeds and she offers a rare compliment, he’s as happy as a child.
Bojanowska is elderly and frail, and they both know this is likely to be their last project together. On her deathbed, she describes their collaboration as “a passion for watching”—a process that goes way beyond merely documenting the world.

Daily Photographer
Ürituste ja seltskonnafotograafi Erlend Štaubi päevad mööduvad glamuursetel pidudel inimestega suheldes ja neid pildistades. Ööd aga neidsamu fotosid klientide jaoks töödeldes, sest fotosid oodatakse temalt juba järgmisel hommikul. Ta on nõutud fotograaf ning tema talenti ja oskusi osatakse hinnata ka väljaspool Eestit. Cannes’i filmifestivalil pildistab ta juba 10. aastat järjest. Selline töö nõuab head suhtlemisoskust ning tugevat füüsist. „Päevapiltnik“ on visuaalne ja emotsionaalne portree mehest, kes otsib tasakaalu kahe maailma vahel — karjääri, mis toob glamuurset tunnustust ja miljoneid fotosid, ning kodu, kus ühe väikese tüdruku vajadus tähelepanu järele kaalub üles kõik punased vaibad. See on lugu hetkede väärtusest ja küsimusest: mis jääb alles siis, kui välk on kustunud?
