Director

Nadia Szymańska

Currently attending National Film School in Łódź, Poland, Nadia is a 25-year-old filmmaker whose particular field of interest is photography. Nadia’s visual foibles include marrying modern 16:9 cinema with a traditional 4:3 aspect ratio and held-held cinematography. Now in the director’s chair, this ethnographical storyteller has already found successes in Warsaw’s Herdocs Film Festival, proving herself as an upcoming talent in documentary filmmaking.

Synopsis

During a summer besides the sea, Gosia raises her young son, Milo, within a Polish traveler’s community. Making ends meet as a tattoo artist, the film presents an overlooked lifestyle of alternative parenting. This fly-on-the-wall documentary positions themes of love and worry within the lifestyle of outsiders.
