After a breakup with his girlfriend, Kris sets off with his friend Michal in search of new experiences. Stylishly capturing the romantic yearning, drunken debating, aimless wandering and self-indulgent philosophizing of youth, Michal Marczak’s highly constructed documentary/fiction hybrid is a moody collage of a year’s journey through house parties, parks and clubs of Warsaw.
Director
A CalArts graduate, Polish director-cinematographer Michal Marczak has made an art of blending narrative storytelling and you-are-there vérité filmmaking. His first two films, At the Edge of Russia (2010) and Fuck for Forest (2012), earned him a reputation on the festival circuit as one to watch; his latest, All These Sleepless Nights, earned him the Best Directing Award at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
