BARD
This year is the 10th anniversary of the death of Jacek Kaczmarski, an outstanding Polish poet and singer. How well, if at all, did we know him? The documentary makes an attempt to draw a complex, multi-dimensional portrait of a singer-songwriter which reveals a tragic figure torn between the passion of creation, perfectionism and his own weaknesses. It also tries to confront the myth of the bard of the Solidarity movement, the moniker that tired the charismatic author of ‘Walls’, a protest song, and became a reason for later alienation.
