Richtung Nowa Huta
Young people spin their cars around in the closed-down industrial grounds.
A newlywed couple have their picture taken in dilapidated barracks. A tourist guide drives visitors through the city in his
Trabant, pointing out the sites of clashes from 1989. Three scenes from Dariusz Kowalski’s documentary TOWARD NOWA HUTA, which
offer splendid illustration of its organization: present and past mutually penetrate and comment on one another rather than
forming two separate layers. (Dominik Kamalzadeh)
