A documentary is not only a way of telling stories about reality, but also a tool for challenging stereotypes and broadening perspectives. more
At the Mieroszewski Centre, we believe that visual storytelling has the power to move people and build bridges where misunderstandings once prevailed.
In our documentary productions, we aim not only to talk about the history and present of Eastern Europe, but to show it — up close, authentically, and without simplifications.
Our productions give voice to eyewitnesses, researchers, experts, and ordinary people whose daily lives form part of a broader story about relations between the nations of the region. We explore shared histories and points of tension between Poland and Ukraine, tell the story of Georgia grappling with imperial legacies and modern-day challenges, and look into Moldova, a country still searching for its own path between East and West.
The Documentally series is more than just a record of events – it’s an attempt to understand. Through images that speak louder than words, we aim to shed light on the region’s complexity and foster mutual understanding despite differences.
