A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT HEARING OF THE WORLD

POLISH TITLE: KILKA PYTAŃ O SŁYSZENIE ŚWIATA

"A few questions about hearing of the world” is the first full length documentary in Poland presenting young composers of contemporary and film music. The film tells a story of four composers – Tomasz Opałka, Paweł Przezwański, Paweł Pudło and Kamil Staszowski. Each of them has an  interesting personality and represents a different style of music. Despite huge variety of artistic expression, they have very much in common, they’ve become incredibly successful at a young age.The film exposes various kinds of music of the XXI century in the contrasting personalities and diverse artistic paths of the protagonists. Their hearing of the modern world is displayed through the sounds of music they talk about. There are special film impressions created particularly for the fragments of recordings, which use the panoramic  shots of the Warsaw city center alongside with the music stories.  Therefore, the picture comprises a portrait of music of our times. Music created by people who repeatedly risked all to fulfill their artistic dreams and serve the others using art. The film is a part of series "Portraits of composers” and promotes Polish contemporary and film music. The project is under the patronage of The Polish National Centre for Culture.
