Berlin Diaries (Work in Progress)
“The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary.” (François Truffaut) “I am shooting a kind of diary. I am trying not to be egocentric, it's more about my conversation with people living here, my perspective on being in a totally new place without any connections. If the film is a language, you should simply fucking use it every day, regardless if you have the money or the approval from someone or not. I was never shooting my daily life as I thought it's too banal and not interesting, but as I changed environment, and I feel like a stranger and like a spectator, I am trying to document that moment in my life. It's gonna be a work in progress forever.” (Przemysław Wojcieszek)
