A Dream (1987)
This short impression was made from the film footage which had not been used in the film ‘Hommage à Beksiński’ screened at the Film Festival in Cannes in 1986 and is a product of one artist’s fascination with another artist, outstanding painter Zdzisław Beksiński. It is an attempt to add extra meaning to well-known works by Beksiński using the means of expressions applied in the film. The challenge for the viewer is to discover references.

The Olympics (1979)
These striking observations of a skiing competition for children in Zakopane make, at the same time, a little treaty about growing up. Innocent play in snow soon changes into a true competition where only the best can win. Adults get involved in the rivalry between children forcing them to continue gruelling efforts. The sound of a ticking stopwatch is a perfect complement to the story. At the end of the film, one of the boys rebels and leaves the run. He is not interested in the world of adults yet.

Szapito (1984)
Szapito is one of the best and most beautiful films about circus artists in the history of Polish documentary cinema. The filmmaker managed to persuade the retired artists of the Szapito group to go back to the circus arena. The spectator knows that the life, characters and their acts recorded on the film stock will soon be gone forever. It is with sympathy and reverie that Dziworski observes this world fade away.

The Cross and the Axe (1972)
An elegiac documentary about Krzyżtopór Castle in the village of Ujazd, southern Poland. Built between 1627 and 1644 by Krzysztof Ossoliński. It was occupied until 1770 when it was destroyed by the Russian army during the military actions against the army of the Bar Confederation. Nowadays, the castle is classified as a permanent ruin. The film is a powerful meditation on lasting tradition and historical decline; The images are accompanied by a folk ballad about the castle’s history, performed by the village choir from Iwaniska.

A Threnody For The Town Of Szydłów (1974)
The lyrical portrait of Szydłów, formerly a town and now a village in the region of Kielce, was yet another step on the filmmaker’s way in search for his own artistic focus and style.

I See (1988)
This film takes the audience to the centre for the blind in Laski. We try to get to know the reality of blind children - full of sounds, smells and carefully studied shapes. Carefully, with their fingers, they check the physiognomy of living animals and then recreate them from clay. Thanks to the aesthetics of the film, seemingly simple activities performed by the wards of the establishment gain a deeper, symbolic dimension.

A Few Stories About a Man (1983)
The film is a portrait of Jerzy Orłowski, an armless graphic artist. Impressionistic scenes present the protagonist in various situations: when he has to deal with everyday chores, when he jumps into water, skis and draws. Even the simplest activity requires struggle, resilience and outstanding fitness from him. Many takes are in slow motion, contemplating the smallest detail, which the director is so skilfully able to bring out.

Plus Minus or Fly Trips to the East (2015)
Bogdan Dziworski returns after twenty-five years of artistic silence with an extremely personal story, which is a diary of the artist's trip to Georgia. Plus Minus or Fly's Travels to the East is a phantasmagorical story about the cult of Joseph Stalin, a figure special to Dziworski's childhood. It's been a long time since I made the decision to visit the commander's hometowns," we hear the protagonist comment from behind the frame.
