dir Rafael Lewandowski

Jerzy Mierzejewski – a great scholar and a man of an amazing personal charm – is no longer able to work but his mind and consciousness are still very much alive. The meeting with him lets us in on a rich life story and astonishing creativity of an unusual painter. We explore the mystery of existence and time – between past and present, life and death.

Rafael Lewandowski (1969)

In 1996, he received a degree in Directing from La femis in Paris. After writing and directing several short films he began working on documentaries: „Cela” (1998), „A Shadowed Gaze” (1998), „Audiences” (2000), „Enfants de Solidarnosc” (2006).
