Marcin Sauter

Time of childhood, vacation, and hot summer. Do you remember the feeling when the indefinite number of things to discover, stories to explore, matters to think over made each day seem to last forever? Watching “Behind the Fence” one may discover again these happy moments of childhood.

The Lone Detective arrives in town to unravel a murder mystery.

Darek and Michał bought copies of old Polish films on 16 mm tape and a projector from the school, and during the summer holidays they set off across Poland with their "mobile cinema." They visit small towns from the Baltic Sea to Silesia, offering screenings for adults and children. Along the way, they meet many interesting people, help with the harvest, and bring "the light of cinema to the thatched roofs."

'North from Calabria' is about a dream place to live, where living is easy and people know each other, tolerate their faults, like to meet to talk and just be together. For one summer, Sauter's film crew mingles with the inhabitants of a small town to enact an almost Italian comedy. It appears that all they needed was a few classes of Italian cuisine and the art of carpe diem to turn this Polish province into Calabria alike. A documentary midsummer night's dream.

Once one of the world’s biggest lakes, the Aral Sea has all but vanished. Marcin Sauter’s film focuses on what remains in an area that once flourished, on the fates of people who had to adapt to life in the desert and now ponder over their solitude among the wrecks of ships and port cranes.

A record of a few months of struggle on the set, showing an atmosphere of work and a picture of immense film machinery, and at same time presenting the truest and intimate portrait of the Master of Polish Cinema, the Oscar winner.

The making-of featurette of Andrzej Wajda's 2007 film Katyń.

An elevator and its passengers, a mother-to-be reading a fairy tale to her unborn child, a lost boy caught between his rowdy, drunk parents, a dance lesson for the deaf, a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, bored MPs listening to a speech in parliament - six documentary etudes on the subject of silence. A continuation of the 2003 exercises included in the film Silence. The authors are students of the Andrzej Wajda Master School of Film Directing.

Out of the 30 students that graduated from Karalina's class at a Minsk conservatory, only one chose to remain in the country. The totalitarian Belarus is gradually becoming deserted, and well-educated people are migrating in droves to the furthest reaches of the world in search of happiness, better career opportunities and a dignified life. I Grew Up As You Slept is a story about emigration, nostalgia and longing for one's family, friends and country. Karalina's film journey, during which she visits her grandmother, who lives in the depopulated Belarusian village of Achaniany, is primarily a journey through time to the land of childhood and memories.

Nicodemus wanders through the harsh tundra landscapes of Spitsbergen. Abandoned mines, fallen telegraph poles, old iron, bent from frost unused railroad tracks. An abandoned, gull-occupied city at the end of the world. Wind, wild animals and the film's lone hero, a man lost in the void.
