“Pociągi” – A Silent Journey Through the Tracks of History
Using only archival footage and foregoing dialogue, Pociągi weaves a poetic yet unflinching portrait of 20th-century Europe. From the majestic steam locomotives set in motion by industrial fervour to the haunting convoys of war and displacement, Drygas captures the beauty and the burden of movement — the promise of escape and the weight of exile. Anchored by a quote from Franz Kafka (“There is so much hope. Infinite hope. But not for us.”) the film asks: which route will we choose when the tracks branch?
