Fruits and vegetables

4 dogs, dir. Maciej Białoruski, 2022, 3′
Our life is calculated for four dogs. The first one dies, as it happens, when you are on holidays. The second one dies alone. The third you take to veterinarians for a long time. With the fourth, you are getting old together. The film is a record of memories associated with each of the dogs. Fragments of biographies reflect on a given time thanks to the plot and thanks to the texture of the image. This short film was shot on a 8 mm film, MiniDV, Super 16 mm and CMOS Super 35 mm. The film is based on a poem written by Piotr Grobiliński and licked by him.
