MY THEMERSONS

POLISH TITLE: MOI THEMERSONOWIE

This film is a double portrait, or rather a triple one, as the extraordinary story of Franciszka and Stefan Themerson is told by the painter’s niece. Jasia Reichardt’s life story, deeply marked by the Holocaust, has become intertwined in a unique way with the biography of this couple of versatile, ever-experimenting artists. Adopting an unconventional form itself, the documentary combines diverse ways of artistic expression and various cinematic styles. Against the backdrop of wartime and emigrant fate, it shows how the practice of art in difficult times turns into a search for meaning and leaves a lasting mark.
