The documentary The Days Yet Unknown is a moving portrait of origin, displacement, and the question of what home truly means. SYNOPSIS A road movie in reverse across Europe: with The Days Yet Unknown, director Jola Wieczorek embarks on a cinematic journey in search of answers — including why her family’s escape from Poland in the 1980s led them, of all places, to the Salzkammergut region in Austria. Through intimate conversations, personal letters, home movies, and private childhood photographs, the film traces the family’s difficult path toward a new home. Accompanied by her mother, father, brother, and a camera, Wieczorek travels into the past to reconstruct her family history: from Poland, where they once lived on the 13th floor of a high-rise housing block, to the refugee camp in Traiskirchen, where they waited in 1989 for a new beginning, and finally to Bad Goisern, set against the idyllic Alpine landscape. By questioning the very process of remembering, the film reveals the complexity of migration stories — shaped by joy and pain, hope and disappointment, alienation and humanity. Both deeply unique and profoundly universal. ︎ BEST DOCUMENTARY at Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis&nbsp; Jury-Statement:&nbsp;This film takes us on a journey. Woven into a dense tapestry of present and past, of personal and collective history, we experience the process of remembering. With great cinematic inventiveness, a narrative flow emerges that resonates on many levels, offering insight and lingering long after the film ends. It is a film about the preciousness—and at the same time the fragility—of memory. It makes visible the hardships of a history of flight without ever remaining stuck in pain. Through its playful openness, subtle humor, and the palpable sense of family cohesion, it leaves behind warmth and hope. The director creates an intimate portrait and, at the same time, an important political contribution to our present—an invitation to look closely while memories can still be told. &nbsp; Jury Members:&nbsp;Ayşe Alacakaptan, Florian Brüning, Judith KeilLOCAL ARTIST at Crossing Europe Film FestivalThere are films that collect their memories in archives. This film is building one itself. Between childhood pictures, stories about the arrival of a family in a foreign country, and a desire to belong, something rare evolves: a look back that is at the same time also a look ahead. Because memory is confronted with oblivion. The own mother’s beginning dementia makes this not a tragedy, but an emotional, richly illustrated road movie, whose mission it is to reconstruct the own biography, so that future generations will have a view of their Family Ties, to draw on the motto of this year’s festival edition. We, for our part, can feel very fortunate that Jola Wieczorek has also shared this history with us, which is why we are awarding the Local Artist Award / Material Prize to her wonderful film DAYS YET UNKNOWN.Jury Members:&nbsp; Simone Hart, Dagmar Schink, Florian Widegger FESTIVALS:&nbsp;Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis (Best Documentary Award) Diagonale - Festival of Austrian Film&nbsp; Crossing Europe Linz (Local Artists Award) Filmkunstfest Mecklenburg Vorpommern CONTACTS AND DOWNLOADS Festival Sales: Austrian Films Austrian Distribution: Stadtkino Filmverleih Press Germany: Marie Ketzscher Press Austria: Valerie Besl Downloads: Presseheft Deutsch&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Presskit English &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Plakat Deutsch&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Film Stills &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Portrait Director&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CREDITS Writer / Director: Jola Wieczorek Production: Fahrenheit Films e.U.

Jessica ist Auszubildende auf einem Frachtschiff, die einzige Frau in der Crew. Die Arbeit ist hart und anstrengend. Die Witwe Amparo begleiten wir auf einer Kreuzfahrt. Alles glitzert und gleißt, sie fügt sich ein in die tanzende Schiffsgesellschaft. Von einem Selbstfindungs-Segeltörn junger Leute aus vier Kontinenten berichtet die dritte Geschichte. Das Mittelmeer, in ruhigen, schwarzweißen Aufnahmen, ist der eigentliche Protagonist. Das unendliche Wasser, der stete Wellengang, der ferne Horizont, die weiße Gischt - sie verknüpfen diese Geschichten und erzählen doch noch viel mehr. (Maria Marchetta) -&nbsp;VIENNALE CATALOGUE TEXT Every ship is a “reservoir of imagination”. This quote by Michel Foucault floats by at one point in Jola Wieczorek’s STORIES FROM THE SEA. A ship is a little world in motion. The Joanna Borchard, for example, moves across the Mediterranean sea. Casablanca, Barcelona, Marseille, Haifa. One member of its crew is somehow special: Jessica is a rare female apprentice in a world that can be considered “probably the most chauvinist domain”.That is another quote in STORIES FROM THE SEA, which comes from a woman on another ship. The Viva &amp; Tanimar seems like a vessel for an utopian way of traveling on water. A community of people from all over the world shares a ship and an idea: the Mediterranean as a common space of humanity. Amparo from Valencia, a passenger on the cruise ship Costa Diadema, would probably subscribe to that idea too.Wieczorek weaves together stories of women at sea, and explores as much a state of place as one of mind. Crossing Stromboli at one point, the sea and the volcano united in the diaphanous black and white imagery of Serafin Spitzer, the movie recalls those times of imagining a life within sublime nature, while Jessica’s chores and Amparo’s idle days on her cruise are also elevated by the surrounding elements.

A barely 40-minute, dusky dream: the kind that you have no idea of who or what you were in it when you describe it later. Were you the one who was looking? Or the person being looked at? Were you the hearing, movement, breathing? After all, you were there! And while you recall the emotion felt in the dream clearer and clearer, the concrete elements slip away. The body and subjects, it seems, were only forced in place anyway. Spreading out in the empty space behind: affect. Jola Wieczorek’s film O que resta comprises three acts: in the first, the picture remains black while a voice reads. A son out in the field writes to his mother, fearful that he will not return home. The camera pans, while further letters follow, about the polished floors of an old apartment in Lisbon. The movement is oriented backward, a receding, perhaps a departure from these heavily memory-loaden walls with their copper etchings and photographs. In the second act, an elderly woman prepares for a visit. Her movements are routine and weary, she’s done them a thousand times: putting out the coffee pot, smoothing the bed cover. What would the cover und kettle be without her hand? In the third act, the future of the second becomes a certainty: the movers come and marks remain from cupboards that have been moved away from the wall. A young man writes from England. His first journey abroad, he is excited: girls wear short bathing suits. Who are you in this cinematic dream situated in multiple times? The boy, the girl, the elderly woman who once received the letter? Or the young couple with the child whom the real-estate agent shows through the apartment? What remains is a film image of empty rooms, sunlit for the first time: and a final, mechanical pan of the camera to a framed picture that no longer hangs on the wall.(Maya McKechneay / Translation: Lisa Rosenblatt) <img width="1280" height="708" width_o="1280" height_o="708" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d69ca0c00f00c5ef9f4471ed3a8efebf863fa619fbaa98af008e21521f5d85ea/Bildschirmfoto-2014-10-29-um-15.55.40_o.png" data-mid="121820589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d69ca0c00f00c5ef9f4471ed3a8efebf863fa619fbaa98af008e21521f5d85ea/Bildschirmfoto-2014-10-29-um-15.55.40_o.png" /> <img width="1280" height="682" width_o="1280" height_o="682" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a32c2d80fbf3c22181271ef5d30c21217701e49c5c912e353339b288d1024182/O-que-resta-3.png" data-mid="121820590" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a32c2d80fbf3c22181271ef5d30c21217701e49c5c912e353339b288d1024182/O-que-resta-3.png" /> <img width="1811" height="957" width_o="1811" height_o="957" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edcc0c518ec12b27231830febe70f1c57c2a44d424f88d55dbda1fc47c2f0281/OQR-09.jpg" data-mid="121820591" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edcc0c518ec12b27231830febe70f1c57c2a44d424f88d55dbda1fc47c2f0281/OQR-09.jpg" /> <img width="1772" height="960" width_o="1772" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5e68f43ff958e2b214c4c25080f712931db4c457cb9346b6b81d885491ccf79/OQR-07.jpg" data-mid="121820592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f5e68f43ff958e2b214c4c25080f712931db4c457cb9346b6b81d885491ccf79/OQR-07.jpg" /> <img width="5000" height="7061" width_o="5000" height_o="7061" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/18c1cb3293bf4847e2d86ab339eb0fc594eee50b9fd5b90b2da1948ead57afe2/OQR_OK_A2_o.jpg" data-mid="121820593" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/18c1cb3293bf4847e2d86ab339eb0fc594eee50b9fd5b90b2da1948ead57afe2/OQR_OK_A2_o.jpg" /> CREDITSDirector &amp; Producer: Jola WieczorekProduktion: DocNomadsDirector of photography: Rita LaranjeiraWriter: Jola Wieczorek, Margarida CardosoTutor: Margarida CardosoLine Producer: Angela SequeiraProduction Assistant: Silvia CoelhoCamera Assistant: Soraia Rego, Miguel Reis, Gonçalo Dias, Joana MagalhãesSteadycam: Samuel TavaresEditing: Jola WieczorekColor Correction: Marco AmaralVisual Effects: Rui Braz, Diana PachecoDirect Sound: José Sequeira, Asia Dér, Luis Luz, Jola WieczorekSound design and mixing: Júlio PereiraPoster Design: Fatima MorenoDISTRIBUTIONSixpack FilmFESTIVALS+SCREENINGS68th Locarno Film Festival DiagonaleCrossing Europe Taiwan International Documentary Film FestivalDoclisboa Framout, Vienna4x2 Dokumentarfilmtage IV, ViennaÖsterreichische Kurzfilmschau 2016 IIFF - International Intangible Heritage Film Festivaldot dot dot short film festival, ViennaCurt'Arruda Film FestivalNOMINATIONSNomination Silver Eye Award at Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival, 2015Nomination for the Prémio Sophia Estudante by the Academia Portuguesa de Cinema.PRESSDer Standard, 19th of March 2015indieWIRE, 6th of November 2015 https://jolawieczorek.com/List-do-Polski Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:57:03 +0000 Jola Wieczorek https://jolawieczorek.com/List-do-Polski LIST DO POLSKIBE/AT 2015 | Super 8 + HD | 9 min | short documentary SYNOPSISTriggered by the large number of Polish people living in Brussels, I question my identity and write a letter to my Polish alter ego.

Ein Fenster symbolisiert den Akt des Sehens und Beobachtens, auf denen wiederum Film basiert. Im diesjährigen Crossing-Europe Trailer sind es zwei Bullaugen, die aus dem Inneren eines Frachtschiffes die Weite suchen. Der Weitblick eröffnet sich erst durch die Bewegung des Schiffes, welche die Vorhänge zum Tanzen bringt und auch den Horizont in Bewegung versetzt. Ähnliches macht ein Filmfestival: Es nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise, lässt uns von Innen nach Außen blicken, bewegt uns, eröffnet uns eine neue Sicht und verändert schließlich den Horizont, auf den wir blicken. Die unterschiedlichen Geräusche des Schiffes stehen für die Vielfalt der Festivalbeiträge und wandern –&nbsp; ebenso wie der Festivalbesucher – von Innen nach Außen. Auf einmal ist man draußen, umgeben von Meeresrauschen bis uns der Funk wieder in das Schiff zurückversetzt. „What is your destiny?“ wird Renate P. gefragt. Das muss jeder Festivalbesucher für sich selber entscheiden. Sound Design: Matías Nadal Color: Diego Delgado
